Has anyone else noticed problems with the top-level lugnet.market newsgroup?
I find that it won't load, although the lower-level groups
(lugnet.market.shopping, for example), are doing fine.


Yeah, the existence of a subgroup does not necessarily imply that its
parent is valid. Consider that you can't post to just "lugnet". There's
also no "lugnet.admin".

My apologies.  I'm apparently referring to this thing by the wrong terminology,
in using the word "newsgroup."  What I'm talking about here is the page I see
with a web browser at http://news.lugnet.com/market/

I get there by clicking the "marketplace" link at http://news.lugnet.com/

Ordinarily, this displays all messages posted to any of the categories appearing
under lugnet.market (as lugnet.market.shopping or lugnet.market.theory), but
from last night through this morning it was not displaying new messages, even
though they were appearing within their appropriate categories.

Anyway, it appears to be working now....

If someone can educate me on what I should call this thing, if not a newsgroup,
I'd be grateful.

(...) Hmmm. I'd call it "the web page for lugnet.market", except that there isn't any such thing. :) I guess the clearest thing to call it is "(URL) Matthew Miller mattdm@mattdm.org (URL) Boston University Linux ------> (URL) (20 years ago, 25-Mar-04, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...)
