It's unlikely you will see this, but google groups has been
down since the 25th. It seems to be allowing posts, but it's
not showing any new posts since the 25th.
That's why you are not seeing your posts.

Thanks.

Posts seem now to be showing in bursts, but few (?) close to real
time.
Time to spend money for a more dependable newsreader, I suppose.

I sort of expect they will get it straightened out before
too long. I think they are doing some massive changes. The
search engine, groups, the whole mess..
Supposably July 1 is when the new system is supposed to
be kicked in. Whether GG will be right by then, who knows..
I'm using eternal-september.org right now. It's pretty
good for a free news server.
But believe it or not, I actually prefer google groups.
Some people shake their heads when I say that, but screw
em if they can't take a joke.. :/
To me, the web based reader is faster and less cumbersome
than using the regular news readers.
Fer instance, on the regular reader I have to look at each
post individually. With GG I see all posts in a thread at
once. It's faster..
Also, if I start fresh on the news server, I have to log in
with my user name and password. And then I have to type in
the new groups I want to look at.. What a pain..
Where as GG, as my usual groups are saved with my "profile"
or whatever you want to call it.
I'll think I'll keep both going, but if they get GG back
in order, I'll likely revert back to it, and keep the
eternal-september.org as a backup.
