Does anyone know why...

....my newsreader (MT-NewsWatcher) would filter all messages by a poster
(in this case Stephen) when I've set no filters, no filters show up in
the filter screen, etc? Curious

**I think it is something to do Stephen or his ISP. Sometime ago, I missed
all his posts too. I never did get to the bottom of it, but I changed ISPs
and I haven't had a problem since.

Mine doesn't count Scottie's droppings in its "new posts" total. Some
days, it tells me I have 10 new messages in RAO but actually there are 30,
with the difference all being Scottie's.

Some providers maintain a "blacklist" of other providers that for some
reason or another they feel have not been responsible or secure....if
Stephan is posting with a provider that your provider feels isn't worthy,
they might not accept his mail.

without resorting to Google.

I've never before heard a sexual motive imputed to Bwian's nefarious
machinations.
