Delays in Posting

Some of you may have noticed that messages are taking a long time to
appear. This morning it took about 10 hours for one of Miguel's
posts to appear, and overnight it took at least 6 hours from
approving a post in the 'Intro' thread to its appearing in the
archives. This problem seems to be affecting all the Yahoo groups,
and has been around for about a week.

It is possible that this problem has been fixed, as posts are now
appearing more rapidly, but it may just seem to have been fixed
because less is posted at the weekend. I would therefore suggest
that we wait many hours (better a day) before assuming that a post
has gone missing. I don't know what the record delay is between a
post being sent and being posted; I have seen a delay of over a week
when the Yahoo system is apparently generally running satisfactorily.
