Evidently the guys who run Bob's Feed Store and Intenet Emporium never heard of the concept of "redundancy" (except in relation to the experiences of the ninth grade) so if something breaks it stays broke until Mr. Haney can have some parts brought in on the Canonball.
In Britain "being made redundant" means fired. So Bob's Feed Store definitely will not be redundant, they are still being used.

Day Six of no posts over there. :-(

And, Jan corrected me in fact: it's actually day four or five, depending on how you count it (the last message posted on the morning of the 2nd). I say this was our fifth day without the mod. Sob! It really _does_ figure, damn Murphy; JMS was posting, people were chatty, traffic was lively... A darned shame. :-(

Re: rastb5m
Yeah, let's blame Mac.

I figure it might be because JMS replied (first time in about two years
Yeah, let's blame Mac.

This afternoon replies have started appearing again, although all but one of them are time stamped today, none of the posts I've had trapped in limbo for the past several days have showed up and I don't see Amy's Andreas tribute thread.
BTW, two of the new messages are from Jay, so apparenlty Bob got himself a new hamster or Mr. Hainey got the parts in.
Guess this means Mac is off the hook.

Don't worry. It will still be funny when JMS sees it. Around Easter.
At least it's not Easter.

Well, the hamster could have a heart attack, and the train could go on the ground (That's "railroad speak" for a derailment.).
Wondering if I should repost my "B5 Cast Christmas Carol" one..... Hmmm.

Don't press your luck, Mac.
What, if two showed up, do you think he'd go 'round the bend?
Hey, I put some time into that sucker, and watched both the Alastair Sim and George C. Scott versions to put that together and get it right. Thought I did OK.
Well, I did it. I pressed my luck.
AND THEY WENT THROUGH! YAY!!!!

Actually I just got an email from Amy and she reports that there wasn't any backlog awaiting moderation so if anybody had posts not show up, you probably want to repost them.
Of course, historically, once you do that, the original posts DO show up. It's just one of those little quirks we "love" so much about the moderated newsgroup.

Just to clarify, I told Jan there was no backlog of messages when I went in to moderate, which was after that initial glob of about ten or fifteen messages posted. Probably those were all that were in there when Jay 'fixed' the newsgroup and initially moderated; the rest must be lost in the ether. I know that anything I posted after about 9:30 AM that day (Tuesday) wasn't there, so I just went into my "Sent" box and resent those few messages, which have now posted. I couldn't believe the damned ng went down just about right at the moment I sent the Andreas/Oscars memorial reel post!

Great, today the group is up, but the Google server is down so I can't access it from work.

Ressurecting an old thread since the subject fits.
Those of you who read or post to the moderated newsgroup have probably noticed that there haven't been any new posts since night before last. Word from Cheryl yesterday afternoon was that their ISP had major problems but she'd thought they were fixed so she was going to have Jay look at things. Since it's still down, the problem must not be fixed...or caused another problem.
I'll update here as I learn anything.
