Yeah, I know. You do get what you pay for, but seeing I usually post
only in rec.boats, or affiliates and occasionally alt. guitar. bass or
alt.guitar.rickenbacker.

I still don't hink it's really that benefifcial [at least at this
venture] to pay to read USNET.

But, Terranews, and Easynews come highly recommended, so.......

Interesting to note, I won't be able to read this post or any
replies
for a day or so.

I wonder if anything has changed in my "Preferences"?

I had the same problem for a couple of days. Seems to be better now.
Maybe they're doing something with regional servers? Frankly don't
know if that makes any sense or not- but the problem that you're
describing was very apparent a couple of days ago in this area.

Maybe regional, but I have always had a 4-12 hour delay. This is going
back at least a year or more.- Hide quoted text -

There is normally a 30-second to 5-minute delay in my Google Groups
service.- Hide quoted text -

Well, it's been a bit over 12 hrs, and I'm finallys eeing my origional
post. I wonder how long this one will take?

jsut up untill about 3 days ago, my posts would apear to me really
fast, yes less than 5 seconds. Now? it's over 12 hrs.

oh well, maybe it will improve soon...

To do so, his ISP has to provide a news service or he needs to subscribe to
one like Giganews or one of the others. Not all ISP's offer a news server.
