Eric,

I've been using supernews.com. I have provided them a list of message IDs
that appear on Google and are missing from the Suppernews server. I've
been informed that they all were deleted from their server due to
copyright violations. This is the only thread that I have seen in the
last two and a half days.

I sent text from several of the missing messages and ask them to identify
for me the copyright infringements. As a result the trouble call has been
moved up to "management" for resolution.

Supernews is a paid-for service which have been happy with for the past
eight years. This is my first problem and it is a major one.

Eric,

What News Group reader are you using?

Besides this thread, my last new thread is "Smoken fast climb" posted on
the 27th at 12:47.

I've been having problems with my rec.aviation.soaring news feed for the
past three days. As a result, I haven't received any new threads. I have
contacted my provider and am still working on the problem.

This message is a test to see if the problem has been resolved.

I got your message; interestingly, I've been getting about 20% of the
usual traffic the last couple days. Maybe there is a more wide-spread
problem?

I use Seamonkey 2.8 (essentially a Firefox/Thunderbird combo: browser,
email, html editor, and some bits I don't use). I get the group from the
nntp.aioe.org newsgroup server.

I reported this problem to Google Groups. It seems to reside there. I've
posted via the eternal-september nntp server and it never arrived in Google
Groups r.a.s. My posts on GG r.a.s. haven't arrived on either
eternal-september or aoie nntps. I've had to reload the GG page serveral
times recently (new version of application cited) to view the latest posts.

FWIW, there's talk on the NANOG list (North American Network Operators
Group) of uunet newsfeed/newsreader ending today, 3/31. I suspect that the
old uunet newsfeed became part of Verizon Business through mergers and
acquisitions as it was announced as uunet/vzb. In any event that newsfeed
is probably long term and peered with a number of other nntp servers. It's
possible there are some peering gaps, or will be after today.

Still, the common core problem appears to be at Google.
