With the wide variety of posts you and D are making, we should be able
to work it out after the event :-)

I don't see my tests in uk.test making it from G2 to giganews or
vice-versa, so looks like the plug has been pulled ...

I see a message every few seconds from Google Groups. They haven't pulled the
plug, yet.

In article <ur69gt$hjj$1$arn...@news.chmurka.net>, gof-cut-this-
ne...@cut-this-chmurka.net.invalid says...

It *is* still the 21st in the USA (6pm in california at the time of
writing) - I assume when they said 22nd it was in one of the USAs
timezones (PST?).

So probably after 22-FEB 08:00 UTC if they've automated Google Groups to
start disconnecting from midnight, or after 17:00 UTC if we're waiting
for someone to get into the office to start shutting things down.

Normally it is always the last place on the planet where it is 00:00:00
on 23rd February 2024. so you need to find out where exactly this occurs.

That's what Microsoft does when they release new products. So Google's
22nd date is alright but it may never happen suddenly.

Yeah, my G2->giganews an giganews->G2 tests showed up eventually, but
without the equivalent of a chain of "received:" headers, can't tell
where the delay was ...

For everyone who lives in the perpetual future (Europe, Asia, NZ, Aus,
etc.), it's still only 6:58am here in the western U.S. Let us have our
coffee before we do stuff today :)
