Yes, Catherine, you are not imagining things.  I launched three posts
last week (sent between Tuesday, the 28th, and Thursday, the 30th) that
haven't yet been archived on either DejaNews or Reference.com.

This has been a long-running, though occasional, problem for me.  About
one out of every dozen or so posts of mine fails to reach both of these
Usenet archive services.  Until now, I had assumed this was due to the
inherent unreliability of Usenet.  But last week was the first time
that three consecutive posts have vanished into thin aether.

Thanks for posting this, Catherine.  I was beginning to think that this
problem was unique to me.
