Hi!

Does somebody else see two unreaded messages like I do or am I the only one
getting two unreaded messages each time I visit the GEF newsgroup?

Cu, Gunnar

I think the newsgroup server hasn't recovered properly since the last
maintenance. Some other Eclipse newsgroups suffer from this condition as
well. By the way, I'm running MS Outlook Express.

yep, SEVEN.

Webmaster of eclipse.org said that these problems exist since the last
rebuild of the newsserver but only on different news clients (mozilla no,
netscape and oe yes)...

Cu, Gunnar

BTW, what is the excact tense when using "since" in the above sentence? I
don't get it.

exist since
had existed since
have been existing since

....these problems have existed since the last...

But don't take my word for it, I'm Scottish and can't be trusted as an
authority on English ;-)

My school book said: 'since/for' -> have been existing.

I cannot either: just school english and that rather bad :)

That's why I'm asking. My schoolbook said this yeeeeaaaaars ago but after
dealing some years with english in companies, newsgroups, mails and
countries I don't feel realy comfortable with that.

This is probably one of those cases where common usage has overtaken the
strict grammar. I can't imagine anybody actually saying "have been
existing since" even if it is grammatically correct. I think that's a
gerund, a grammatical construct that has pretty much gone out of fashion
in colloquial English. But then, English grammar isn't really taught in
the UK any more - I learnt most of my English grammar from my Latin teacher!
