I would appreciate it if someone could tell me if I have a setup problem on
my computer or there is sometimes a problem with this news group when I
access it IE7.

After I sign in and see an item that I want to reply to, I press on reply.
After I clicked on the reply sometimes the window pos up and I am all set to
reply the way I expect other times I get no response or I just get the same
message that I was looking at.

Anyone else experiencing this issue?
