Also known as: posting, to post
Both the act of sending an article to a newsgroup and the article that results. A posting server accepts the article, assigns it a local number, and hands it to its peers. Unlike a web forum message, a post cannot be edited once it has left the originating server; a correction requires a follow-up or a Supersedes header, and neither propagates reliably to every site.
