Thanks for the input - I made a post to the discussion group re: my 
resolution to this issue - it was ultimately a DNS issue.  In my defense, 
it was masked a bit - but DNS and at my own hands to boot.

re: " When logged in as a managing or contributing editor, go to the 
discussion group message, scroll to the bottom of the page, and in the 
Admin box, click "Make this message a story", and Submit. This will make 
the storyReader-URL work."

I don't seem to have that option.   My admin box suggests I can delete the 
posting and that is all.
