Due to a recent iCi news server crash & burn, I haven�t been able to post
and/or read any articles. How�s the ``Nobody�� thing going?

Well, we figured out who it was, but we can't tell you.

LOL. =) I know who it was -- me. I was here when that was finally figured
out and I posted my congradulations reply (I think it was you, wasn't it?),
but I was wondering if anything else was posted about it.

But after that (I think a day or two later) I got so annoyed waiting five
minutes for the news server to open correctly (it crashed, was fixed, then
it worked but was extremely slow), I just decided to wait until they fix it
again.

(feel free to improve my 'pointer'. Does it qualify as ascii art?)

Well, this is a record. I said to you that it would probably take days for
your ng/email to show up on the netcom server, and here it is already. I
told J. (you don't mind if I call you J., Mr. Melusky?) on December 11th, 3
posts from Eli showed up finally on our server. They were dated November
28th.

Most stuff seems to show up in a reasonable time frame, but others...
J.'s explanation of possibly slow senders seems to make sense.
