Sorry for not being more clear. I thought there was a lugnet wide problem, and
my post was just a note to bring it to attention, and to be silly

Jerry.

When both Janey, and I experienced the same problem, I just presumed it was
system wide. Specifically we both noticed that there was more than (at a guess)
a 10 hour lag between posts appearing via nntp, and those on http.

I would also not be surprised if it was really more like 24 hours. i do not have
any emperical way to measure this. but i know that the last post we saw on http
was time stamped 1:30 am (toronto time) yet, I had 3 posts in my nntp stamped
7:30, and 8:30. Throughout the day, we never saw any new posts.

I have since come home to find a back log of posts over the past 24 hrs.

I thought you were aware of this. I hope I have not caused any confusion

Jerry, you are doing a fine job.  Please do not change anything.

(...) Chris, no confusion as such, no - let's rather call it a slight disturbance ;) No, really, I have cross-checked again, and the only thing I seem to find is that we do have a time zone discrepancy between the NNTP and HTTP news post display.
