As Jeff Spence has pointed out, I was wrong; I should have said 11:44
am and not 1:44 pm. So the Date: header appears to be about right. I
might try to supersede my erroneous article with a corrected version if
I can find the time. (The pun is unintentional.)
So, Leona, what *did* you have to drink? I had ginger ale, straight
up. 8-)

Renaissance (ro.com) is owned by Phase IV Systems (phase4.com).
Renaissance is an ISP and ro.com is for the ISP customers, where
phase4.com is for the employees of Phase IV.
Looking at the InterNIC information for the Traveller domain, I guess
there is the same relationship between Traveller and Crystal Data
Systems (the traveller.com domain is registered to Crystal Data
Systems).

It's kind of funny, actually. I came to work a half hour early last
week, got coffee, sat down, read the news and posted an article. However,
when I downloaded articles again, the time stamped on my post said 10:35
AM. Bull. I'm on my lunch right now as I write this, wonder what time
it will stamp on it now? 3:PM? Who knows? Anybody?
But to answer your question, I've noticed more .hiwaay.net people posting
than people from ingr. I count about five people from ingr posting on
any given day. The volume on this newsgroup is so low it's almost a joke,
so maybe that's why you notice it more.

The Date: header on your article is:
Date: 23 Jan 1996 17:43:56 GMT
...which is about 1:44 pm CST. How close was it?

Oooh...statistics....oooh...
I took all of the NNTP-Posting-Host: headers I could find on the
news.msfc.nasa.gov spool in the hsv.* groups. I removed the hsv.jobs
and hsv.forsale groups because they are spam magnets. After stripping
off some of the front ends of the host names, I came up with this
frequency of occurrence:
163 ingr.com
134 hiwaay.net
50 traveller.com
43 msfc.nasa.gov
32 garply.com
29 iquest.com
25 ro.com
18 mtronics.com
13 aol.com
11 uu.net
10 redstone.army.mil
4 uah.edu
4 internetmci.com
4 hsval.com
3 phase4.com
3 netcom.com

1 hip.cam.org
1 dircon.co.uk
1 dial-access.att.net
1 crystaldata.com
1 ccnet.com
1 ais.net
1 adnetsol.com
Please note that expiration policy and propagation quirks may make the
results vary a lot from server to server.
There are some other things you need to watch for. I notice that
ro.com and phase4.com's entries together equal iquest.com's. Are
ro.com and phase4.com the same company? Similarly, we have
traveller.com and crystaldata.com.
Oh, well, it was an interesting 1-minute exercise.

You're right. I don't know how I came up with 1:44 pm. It's 11:44,
just as you said.

All in all, it's actually *my* mistake, as I paid no attention to the
GMT and just assumed it was CST. So, maybe when I read the article I
thought was posted at around 10:30AM it was the same case, which.....
...still confuses the pa-jeebers outta me, *shrug* but oh well...

Ginger ale is good. Prefer Alta Springs[tm] over Canada Dry[tm] though.
More bubbles.

Ps. I can't get hsv.flame to subscribe for some reason and I'm not
posting articles to a group I can't read so I trimmed it. Paranoid?

"obviously posting from work" group of people in hsv.general. I'm not saying
that others don't do it, just that ingr people are the most noticeable.
I've noticed that almost all of the posts originating from the ingr domain
appear to occur during the day; presumably while the posters are at work.
Are your supervisors aware of the amount of time you spend on the Net? Do
they care? Or do you just assume the "as long as I get my work done, it
shouldn't matter what I do" attitude?
Not trying to start a flame-fest; just curious.

Some of so both, when I can post from ingr.com.

When I post to ingr.general, I do so on my OSHA guanteed 15 minute morning
and afternoon breaks, OR my 45 minute lunch.

Well it is always easier to pick on the big guy. With what do we have now
3900 employees in Huntsville? If each of us just posted one article per
week, we would flood hsv.general.

It's also worth noting that mtronics.com is the parent company of
interQuest (iquest.com).

Not a flame, just thought it was funny. You probably meant 11:44 but
missed the extra 1.
