It is January 13th and the original Jim Eade January 2nd post regarding Arnold
Denker's passing has just appeared.
This seems to be happening more and more.

Anybody else noticing this trend?

Try a different news providor. AOL is on a slow downward spiral.

Agreed. While I have heard lots of bad things about AOL, both
my current ISP (Comcast) and the previous one (ATT) did not have this
problem at all. When I post it usually appears within 60 seconds and I
can't remember the last time I saw someone quote a previous post I had
not already seen.

Even without this problem, AOL has always been the ISP for
idiots anyway. Also, installing its software on your computer is like
spilling molasses in your lap - it's a sticky, gooey mess that clings
to everything and cannot be removed. Switch to a different ISP,
Richard, and leave AOL to the newbies who are incapable of
understanding anything else.

A post of mine mysteriously reappeared about two weeks after I
orignally sent it, but on the whole performance has been much better
since google went to this new format. Previously posts could take up to
12 hours before they finally appeared, but now it takes only minutes.

That also has happened to me, and some of my attempted posts
have not yet appeared at all.
