Is this the person who uses a forged Gmail address as his posting
address? For utterly unsurprising reasons, those posts simply ARE NOT
VISIBLE to a large number of people, including anyone who is
themselves using Gmail.

Don't use a forged address. If you want to use a fake address, use a
*legitimate* fake address, such as one ending ".invalid". Or use an
address at a domain that you own and control, and make sure that the
appropriate security information is set (eg don't have an SPF record
that says "-all"). There are lots of options. Stop abusing Gmail
addresses.

(My apologies for saying this in reply to an unrelated post, but I
also don't see those posts, so it's not easy to reply to them.)
