censored Pear said:Something strange is going on with Google today.
No, it isn't.
Quoted message said:None of the messages in any of the groups date any more
recently than the 27th of May.
That happens occasionally. Stuff I posted to afv yesterday
just showed up on Google. Ever hear of patience?
Quoted message said:When I first attempted to respond to threads, I noticed
recent messages I'd posted had disappeared.
They didn't disappear. They weren't added to Google's
archives immediately. We got them, though. You should feel
like a major league [censored] in your rush to judgment. At
least that's how you come across accusing others of altering
Google or nuking your account. Nitwit.
Quoted message said:But I didn't realize it was across-the-board until I
brought up the newsgroup pages themselves.
Well don't you think you should've tried that first before
accusing others of things the way you did?
Quoted message said:So, I apologize if I've mistakenly accused anyone of
nuking posts which actually disappeared due to this major
Google blackout.
They didn't disappear. They'll be in the archives when
Google's systems catch up. Sometimes it takes longer than
other times. From their FAQ:
# How often is the newsgroup archive updated?
The archive is currently updated several times per
day. There may be a delay of up to 12 hours between
articles being posted to a news server and those
articles being searchable within Google's newsgroup
search. We realize this is less than ideal, and we
hope to increase the frequency of updates in the
near future.
Quoted message said:I will still hold Jon Ball (and/or his allies) accountable
for hacking my email account though, which has nothing to
do with Google.
Do you have evidence of such a felony occurring, or, as was
the case with your impatience with Google, are you just
blowing smoke?
