Thanks for being specific. So, from that description, you are using the Google Groups web interface to read and send messages in this forum. That is not “posting directly to the forum”, because this forum doesn't have a single canonical direct location. (And if it did, that location would certainly not be Google Groups.) > And I have to apologize. The threads in my previous conversation, > ERRNO 48: Address already in use, are so extensive and hierarchical, > that they appear to be out of order. They're not. Right. I gather, from many complaints by Google Groups users over many years, that it is a terrible interface for interacting with any forum. The lack of proper threading support is just one of many well-known bugs that Google show no sign of correcting. They show every sign, in fact, of having no interest in listening to the requests from users of that software. Given that history, you might want to avoid Google Groups for interacting with forums, and choose software that works better with discussion forums. I am told Mozilla Thunderbird is a good choice, but there are likely others. -- \ “Earth gets its price for what Earth gives us.” —James Russell | `\ Lowell | _o__) | Ben Finney -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
