I'm getting these messages, but one I posted earlier didn't seem to go
through. I expect this one won't either.

There seems to have been about a 12 hour window (7:08 AM to 6:50 PM
UTC-7) without any activity. Then DIG's "Foo" and "No incoming
articles" posts broke the ice. One message I posted about 3:45 PM
(UTC-7) has gone missing.

This has nothing to do with google groups. I use Forte Agent and the
eternal-september news server. Mitchell Coffey and Bob Berger seem to
have slightly advanced computer times since their responses to DIG
preceded his initial posts. Or possibly the whole notion of causality
and the arrow of time were interfered with during this interval.

AFAIK, moderated groups work basically by your news server literally e-
mailing the post to DIG's "Darwin" moderation host. The group gets a
lot quieter if this fails at Google Groups (which might happen
separately from normal newsgroup operation), but if it's everywhere,
either something under DIG's control has gone wrong, or the e-mail
service that delivers to him, or, perhaps, the propagated record that
identified t.o as a moderated newsgroup with DIG as moderator.

That's to say, it could be that the Feds are on to us. For
criticising the conduct of kooky legislators, and school boards, and
for praising them activist judges.

There seems to be some problem. Google only shows three posts in this
thread when you have it in tree format, but around 14 just as a list.
This usually happens when something is screwing up on the web.

My yesterday morning post made it, but not the evening posts that I
tried to post. This morning Google only has around 40 new posts
listed where the usual is 80 to 100, and yesterday evening when I
checked only around 20 new posts were listed for the entire day.

Not that I would know what "the big smoke" is; but no matter... What
you say would be extra-interesting were sainted late ex-Mother-in-Law
to have sent that letter after she were late.

An Orstrayan colloqiuialism for cities (lots of smoke there, you see).

Then the reply would not have reached her.

Sorry, my oversight. I don't read sigs, or at least I don't check to
see whether they change. And my newsreader trims them from the
replies.

I still don't get it, and no, don't bother.
