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.
