If it is happening on two lists, it must be more than just you or your
location.
Lesley mentioned Google Groups. If you are subscribing to the Rootsweb
mailing list, that shouldn't affect you. Google Groups doesn't own Usenet.
I use an overseas newsgroup list. My ISP doesn't have an NNTP server, and
Telstra's was just too unreliable. As soon as everybody left the office for
the weekend, the posts stopped until Monday! I have told my newsreader to
block anything posted from Google Groups, to reduce spam. That will block
some on this list.
I have been seeing a few posts on GENANZ, probably the ones you saw in the
archives. On the GB list, I have been seeing more.
RootsWeb is now part of Ancestry.com. The Ancestry.com main site is slow,
and frequently just freezes up. Although for a while, Ancestry.com seemed to
have improved out of sight, the Ryerson Index's troubles with RootsWeb
started at about the time of the takeover. We have now moved to our own
server.
HTH,
Doug.
