     I don't see either of those. OTOH, I've seen Google take

    a couple of days even with a reliable news feed.

    On the other OTHER hand, perhaps you should just use

    Google's web interface to post. I've switched to using

    it exclusively -- it's not exactly as convenient, but

    it's very reliable and available anywhere.

    And the inconvenience has cut down the amount of time

    I waste on Usenet -- that's worth something!

    Thank you, Nick, Stevan and Massimo for the checking.

    Now it is certain: from here it *looks* as though a

    news article is posted to the world, when in fact it

    did not get off campus at all.

    I have now learnt how to look at the google web interface,

    thanks Nick.

    Thanks, Billy, I'll follow your advice.
