I use Google to read RRSW and lately all the newest postings are 2
days old. In other words, it takes 2 days for postings to appear. Do
the rest of you have this problem or is it just a Google thing?

Who is your ISP ? Google works fairly-- reliably for most of the time .

I use dslextreme who uses a third party usenet provider. Google Groups
is for pussies.

It seems rare to have a quality ISP provide usenet, now-a-days, AT&T
(yahoo) does not.

It seems strange to me that such a service as usenet (was here at almost
the very beginning of ARPANET) is ignored by ISP ... it would seem as
logical as email to be provided!

I could see banning binaries ... and it would seem to be a simple matter
of recognizing them, even if encrypted, by simple "data pattern"
recognition ... encoded pictures/music simply makes a different pattern
in the encrypted data, than that of text ...

I just find it strange ... like when "something doesn't feel right" to
you ... or, you sense someone watching you.

John,

The unfettered BS that many posters, like yourself, proliferate on
the
USENET, is the exact reason that most ISPs don't want to mess with
it any longer.

But, hey, you already know that,

Mike

Apropos of that, 2 days posting delay? Sheesh, what part of Texas are
you from?

I agree. When 95% of the traffic is tin-foil-hat types and conspiracy
theorists, there is neither profit nor glory in it.
