  1. Something strange is going on with Google today. None of the
    messages in any of the groups date any more recently than
    the 27th of May. When I first attempted to respond to
    threads, I noticed recent messages I'd posted had
    disappeared. But I didn't realize it was across-the-board
    until I brought up the newsgroup pages themselves.

    So, I apologize if I've mistakenly accused anyone of
    nuking posts which actually disappeared due to this major
    Google blackout.

    I will still hold Jon Ball (and/or his allies) accountable
    for hacking my email account though, which has nothing to do
    with Google.

    No, it isn't.

    That happens occasionally. Stuff I posted to afv yesterday
    just showed up on Google. Ever hear of patience?

    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.

    Well don't you think you should've tried that first before
    accusing others of things the way you did?

    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.

    Do you have evidence of such a felony occurring, or, as was
    the case with your impatience with Google, are you just
    blowing smoke?
