Geez, why are you complaining about this problem on a newsgroup?
Has it ever occurred to you that there might be a configuration problem
with the news server or the server might not be getting all the postings
it should from its feeder server? The logical thing to do in such situations
is to report the problem to the service provider. No where in your message
did you indicate that you did so. What was your point in posting the message
on a newsgroup?
