I have had a LOT of posts lately saying that message is no longer available
on server. What's up with that?

The server admin may have changed retention policy or they may have had
a media failure--generally newsgroups other than the google archive
aren't particularly worrying about reliability locally since there are
so many alternate servers and usenet propogates copies everywhere.

According to your server's homepage (www.usenetserver.com), they maintain
years and years of messages. Since they are so professional, the trouble
must be on your end.

I have seen the same problem, not severe, but definitely more than the
normal level.

Lots of admin guys do their yearly maintenance around this time of year and
those files may be locked for backup. I see all sorts of similar quirks and
bugs, and they really get ugly right at New Year's Eve.

I'd be a lot more comfortable, if you men would stop looking at my end.

Recently adjusted the security settings. Set them back. It was just that
after I won the lottery, I was getting all sorts of weird stuff.

I occasionally get the same message from eternal-september server. Not
much though and very rare.

I have been seeing lag time trying browse web pages in the past few
days. The page just tries to connect, but when I hit refresh the page
pops up. No changes in any software.

I may reboot the router

Harry, does the polysyllabic aspect of it confuse you?

The purpose of it confuses me.
Seems a bit juvenile.
