   Thanks, Mike.  A few days ago I sent a different message, got the equivalent   
   of "Message sent" but the message did not appear at Newsgrouper (the same   
   server where I post) for several hours.  This seemed very odd.   
   Then this.  Message missing from the same server that accepted the   
   message!   
      
    - - - - - - - -   
      
   Anyway, PLEASE solve for the simple way I've hidden messages   
   recently, so I don't have to compose further hints!!   
   Here are the two lines, each with a hidden "political prediction."   
      
   **  Betray a sovereign? The newlywed overvalued is.​   
   ​   
   **  Appreciate cure; buffoonery conquer; rhetoric amuses.​   
      
   The first uses the (3,1) variant of a general method; the   
   second uses the (3,2) variant.   
      
   Cheers,   
   James
