I suspect it's not just my messages, although some would consider
that a worthwhile feature ;-), but all the messages from my lame
ISP SBC/Ameritech. Their NNTP servers don't propagate reliably
either upstream or downstream. I sometimes have to go to Google
to follow the gist of a Usenet conversation so many messages get
dropped.

Usenet is not a high priority for most ISPs and SBC/Ameritech, or
whoever the hell owns them this week, is no exception to the rule.
