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.
