We have had some problems with the order in which articles
are received here from news.bc.net. In general 90% of the 
articles are coming in day of post, but an annoyingly large
number of articles show up as much as 10 days late. This can 
render a large proportion of multi part binary postings
useless.

We have never been able to figure out why this is happening,
but it started at about the tie BC Net went over to the
T3 connectivity.
