Why am I posting to clc++ instead of e.g. no.alt.test? Because the problem is with clc++, when posting from Thunderbird. Again, sorry for the noise.

propagation delay is inherent in Usenet.

Yes, thank you for that observation, so that people don't post test
messages like this needlessly.

In this case articles posted via Eternal September showed up in Google
Groups but not in the feed from Eternal September, which can not be
explained via propagation delay. Evidently there was some problem with
the E.S. servers, because the feedback option over there failed via
timeout. I mailed the contact there and now it's OK.

:)

Most news server-side software is split into two pieces - one
that handles posts & propagation and one that handles reading. The
two aren't necessarily in sync, the reader side also needs to wait
for propagation from the posting side (which sends to all peers).

If you're using eternal september, they have periodic issues.

Double-check with Google Groups if something seems odd.

Thank you,
