Please post a tiny but complete example piece of code showing the problem so 
that others can run it. Please also post the error message; if it is a stack

[The Press] had tried to contact usenet but that no one had been available
for comment.  That's odd, I thought, if there's one thing you can say about
usenet, its that there's usually someone available for comment.
