- I've had it good since December 1990, and it's a helluva shock to
- see crappy seven-day-plus propogation times. Heck, I used to
- think the normal 1-2 day propogation to here was bad, because
- there were conversations that blossomed and finished in mere
- hours!
-
- Seven days _late!_, fuck, it's a joke. At least I'm reasonably
- confident that I'm getting out without some humungous delay.

- I spoke to my site admin, and he said "news just keeps pouring
- in, what's your specific problem", so it's not something that
- he's aware of.

- Large sigh.
-
- Doesn't look very interesting when the best I can do is attempt
- to flame people for what they said a week ago.
-
- At least I'm left-handed.
