Replying from GG. I think it's a localized problem.

Apparently it does. But this title was in the yellow GoogleGroups
message box when I tried to post something earlier. I just copied it
and posted from Free Agent. (But I am posting this from Googlegroups.)

Not only that, it's not true!

I use google groups only. I don't have the same problem as you do,
although google has done that to me in the past. Not very often
though.

Sometimes, I get an error message of some type, and I have to re
post.

John, you're Google Groups problems are related to your setup and your
ISP. I don't ever have the problems you seem to have.

Quite possibly. I have ATT DSL Elite (the fastest DSL they have via
landline phone line) and WinXP Pro SP3 OS, Firefox 3.6.8 browser.

But sometimes, like NOW (12/12/2011 2:59PM CST) it works for me
virtually instantly!

Go figure.

That's the web for you. Hopefully, GG will get their act together. OTOH,
GG is more reliable than usenet-news and eternal-you-know-what.

Ooh, that would be a really wonderful development, if you ask me!

It is called PEBKAC.

I have the same connection, and all through using XP and now Windows 7
(and various other OSes on other machines in the house) I have never
once experienced even a hint of the troubles you're always yammering
on about. Yes there is a delay when I post via GG, and I measure it
in "a few minutes". There's also an (albeit shorter) delay when I
post directly to a news server via albasani.net. There may have been
one or two times over the years where a post took 30 minutes to 'show
up' on GG, but I've got about 27 tabs open on Firefox, so I can find
something to do in the meantime.

Remember dialup? Remember UUCP? Better yet, remember when reaching
out and touching somebody meant sitting down and smearing blobs of
lead or graphite onto dead tree guts, and paying a whole bunch of
people to take turns carrying your creation to the person you
intended, and what happened if you got the address wrong?

Please. Find a hobby.

My first computer was a Timex Sinclair *with* the 16K memory expansion
module! TV for a monitor and a cassette tape storage interface.

The first computer I used was via a teletype terminal with a phone
modem to a mainframe. In Jr High. Then in High School I did FORTRAN
programs on punchcards, rubber banded them together and someone wold
pick them up and run them and we'd get our output on greenbar paper.
The next day or so.

I can take lags in posting just fine. What I can't take is the posts
being lost somehow. I also don't like time-out errors. I use both GG and
NNTP servers everyday and am very familiar with their behavior. What's
your experience with these interfaces?

Wow, I'm impressed.

Well, let's see, hmmm, experience -- I was one of the first thousand or so
USEnet users *ever*, from DARPA/MITRE, and am listed in the earliest BBN
printed Internet directories -- (yes, such a thing was once possible).

I have implemented and run NNTP servers, including customized local newsgroups,
for several goverenment agencies. And before, that an assortment of BBSes.

And I've run newsreaders (from RN and TIN through Agent and Thunderbird)
probably ten times a day on average since then, from many NNTP servers.

OK, I take back my first sentence above -- I was pulling your leg. I wasn't
impressed.

GG stinks in every respect: the selective availability, reliability, and the
(IMO) awkward, time-wasting, useless interface.

My assumption was that you were a well educated person and starting
your post with "Not even close." was a fine start for your thesis but
then that was all your wrote.

That's fine if you want to leave it at that and in fact, I'd rather
drop this, but just being contradictory does not a convincing argument
make.

WHY do you keep harping on this? Your clock is tickin', ya know.
Don't waste precious time on petty crap.
