Off line for a while

Looks like GG is not propagating postings again for at least 13 hours.

I reported this problem to Google Groups. It seems to reside there.

The obvious cure? Stop posting via Google groups!

Google has been trying to kill Usenet for years. Any problem that is
being caused by them is highly unlikely to get fixed by them.

Looks like the Google Groups bottleneck has cleared.

USENET is still in very wide use. The worst thing that happened were the
binary news groups. That upped the bandwidth and storage a bunch while both
were still expensive. Now USENET servers are run pretty economically
considering the other bandwidth hogs out there. The spammers have stopped
using USENET for e-mail harvesting.

What I like about USENET is the push. No forum hunting. Not as limited as
lists. More engaging than RSS feeds. Then there are the flames;^)

Yeah, GG's new interface is no favorite.
