<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Several months ago the postings from this List were mirrored to the Usenet gateway (bit.listserv.celiac). For those interested in reducing their message traffic, this is often a reasonable technique. It has recently come to light that all of the List traffic may not be showing up and you may be missing some interesing post. The failure rates appears to be greater than 50 percent. The cause is unknow and Celiac is the only List that has reported this problem. We understand that Usenet traffic can be delayed 24 hours at the intital gateway, which could result in a longer delay at your mailbox. To assist in verfing that this problem is wide spread and is not Internet Providor related, I am asking for some volunteers to assist in documenting message arrival on Usenet. Each day for about a week, I will send the message headings for the previous 24 hours to these IDs and ask that received Usenet message be marked on the summary and returned to me. If there is a network wide problem, this will show the true extent of the problem. Hopefully, this message will make it through the gateway and our Usenet subcribers will assist in this project. Please reply directly to me and not the List. ---- Michael Jones ([log in to unmask]) Orlando, FL USA One of the Celiac & Cel-Kids Listowners
