Scott,

You have just dug up a month old thread.

It looks like you both did.  Scott's message is dated 1-Feb, a couple of
days following the previous message, although it showed up some 8 hours ago.
If I look at the dates, you're the one holding the shovel.

I thought this NNTP date posted/approved thing was corrected.

Indeed! My most abject apologies Scott. Had I caught that error in the
posting scheme, I would never have responded as I did! Again, my apologies!
Thank you Rob, for catching that mistake.

Admins: What is the deal with this? Is it a function of the e-mail message
release system, something in the NNTP services, the server itself, or what?

Hmm, I thought it was a function of when one gets around to approving or
cancelling messages via the mail interface, *as well as* when that mail gets
delivered. Scott has in the past related that he often waits a while (up to
several days??) before approving messages.

I often approve a message via e-mail and it does not appear. I've heard
others say the same happens to them. I have no idea if this is what happened
here. I noticed my reply had not appeared when I quoted Tim's words
yesterday morning in the "porthole" thread.

I see no probelm with the current setup. But, this problem could be helped
if there were a way to view all our unposted/unapproved  messages in one swoop.

He would have to speak to whether
in this case he approved it very very late, or whether he approved it more
quickly. (in which case apparently the approval mail just got wedged
somewhere him and LUGNET or got wedged on LUGNET itself??)
