I was laughing at your assertion that your posts were going into limbo
in the same sentence saying you had seen no posts at all after the 17th,
the two conjoined with "and". I think we have another case of set theory
deficiency, been a lot of that going around in the Lisp community.

Well its not really dumb you know. I suspected that what I was seeing
was a lie and if so somebody would write back and tell me "Yes, we can
view you, don't believe your screen". That's exactly what did happen.
I've had posts just vanish for no reason and never appear on this
group; but never with such an unnannounced major malfunction as this.
Vanishing posts are not unusual.
It looks as if Google have now caught up with today, so that I am in
real time again. But I won't trust them again, thats for sure.

Hi Mark,
I see no problems. I recommend news.individual.net, they have a low
yearly subscription fee and I find them very reliable.

I sent three or four messages yesterday that didn't turn up until
today.

Yes. I've been finding the people here very slow.

And yet you continue to crave their acceptance, in the face of bitter
rejection.

That's because you are using Google Groups. There is nothing wrong
with Usenet itself.
This isn't really the right forum to be discussing Google Groups
issues.

Just to confirm, I have the same problem with Google Groups. And I thought
it was the firewall on my business laptop.
(I realize this is off-topic, but if it can reduce confusion it may be
worthwile. For example I posted two replies to a topic,
because the first one was not visible in Google Groups even after a few
days.)

I don't think its off-topic because a lot of people are reliant on
this technology to access this group. I also thought something
majorly wrong had happened but didn't know what.
Its really very poor that Google should experience a loss of service
for > 24 hours and post bugger all about it leaving thousands of poor
boobs to figure out whats gone wrong firing multiple posts into space
before the penny drops.
Not even a "We apologise for the inconvenience and are working ...."
message which costs them nothing. I assumed any responsible provider
would do at least this much. They should be taking the flak here; not
the users.
At least if people are aware that Google can do this, then in the
event that they read this thread and the same happens again, people
will know what's afoot and not waste their energy.

I would propose to use a different approach to access Usenet.
Try using a NNTP client and a Usenet provider. Works
fine. I only use Google Groups sometimes for reading. Not much
for posting, since it sucks.
Especially for writing posts, forget Google Groups.
GNUS for Emacs is popular, though a bit over-featured and
from a usability stand point it excels at using the Emacs
interfaces - which is bad.

Maybe Google wants to prevent you from spamming?
No, I will not buy his book! I won't even buy any O'Caml book at
all.
