Has there been a problem with the newsgroup the past couple of weeks?

No problems noticed here (UK). Running M$ Vista & Windows Mail from my ISP's
feed from Giganews.
Hope you soon get sorted ;-)

I sent in posts that never showed up here. I thought maybe they were posted
but my ISP just didn't show them.

I think there is a problem. I use Cox and they have a gazillion files in
the porn newsgroups and often only twenty or thirty in this one. I wrote to
Cox and asked for an explanation. They get their newsgroups feed from a
subcontractor and "have no control over the volume in any given group" which
makes me think I'm gonna go back to Giganews soon. It's worth ten bucks a
month, Tom in Pensacola

Save your money. I have Giganews bundled in with Comcast and I have the
same problem people are talking about. A ton of replies being posted but no
original posts. Very strange.
