Newsfeed problems

I have been having newsfeed problems since a change in our newsfeed 
supplier.

Since 18 Feb 1998 I have only been seeing about 5 to 10 new postings
a day in alt.ascii-art whereas normally there would probably be 20 to 40.

What has the number of new daily postings been like since Feb 20 ?  
Is it my newsfeed or are there actually less postings in alt.ascii-art ?  

Bye,

Both?
Sounds like it's your newsfeed though it has been a quit week.

Dejanews (again) shows :

  day         no. of posts to alt.ascii-art
20/02/98      24
21/02/98      16
22/02/98      35
23/02/98      18
24/02/98      16
25/02/98      17
26/02/08      23

And luckily I've seen them all. ;)

Colin,

	Many of us are experiencing similar problems.  For instance, I will see
a reply to a message before I see the original post.  Sometimes said original
post will show up 2 weeks after the reply, and sometimes I will NEVER see the
message.

Ya,dude.Its not been slow.I just loaded a.a-a and there were 26 posts since
14 hours ago.Thats typical for me and i dont even get "all" of the posts.Ya
might try looking for a good free news server to get yer posts from or
complain severly to your sysadmin.Our service just upgraded thier servers
and its been great.I hope it gets better for ya.

Thanks for that response which illustrates _very well_ exactly what 
you are saying. 

My original posting was Feb 28, your response was posted on March 2 
and I have only just seen your response today , March 9. 

My situation is rather more complex because my ISP has chosen to 
drop certain lesser-used newsgroups from the main newsfeed and 
supply them only through a Cache...alt.ascii-art is in the cache
so now I can only respond to posts via the cache but it seems I can 
make entirely new postings through the main feed as before. It is 
rather a messy business right now :-(

I have been uncertain about whether any of my posts have been 
getting through since early February but it seems as though they 
have got through even if somewhat delayed.  

Bye,
