My regular postings are about every 5 to 7 days, about once weekly,
based on the assumption that an article expiry time of 5 days is 
common amongst Access Providers but in reality it varies wildly
from 24 hours to 3 or more weeks.

If the postings are too frequent, i.e. daily, complaints arise about 
excessive posting.

Most FAQs automatically posted to the news.answers and *.answers 
newsgroups appear only once a month.

A very common problem which defeats the best laid plans of mice and men.
Net propagation is erratic and everyone suffers from it. Everything
on the Net is ephemeral and 4 years is an age in Net time. 

Bye,
