- Even Chuck Dammit would be perplexed by how our newshost receives
- posts from other sites: posts bleed through on a more-or-less random basis
- so that I get to read posts today (Dec. 23) from as far back as Dec. 16 and
- as recent as Dec. 21. Of course, posts from my site get zapped out
- immediately, but then, who reads their own stuff, anyway?
-
- But then...
-
- Hah! I finally get the jump on someone! He posted through our
- gateway, meaning that I get to see today's post today instead of next
- August.
-
- Now, is this a Good Thing (tm)?
