Posting Disabled for Last Several Days on Alt.music.polkas ----Exodus to this site in order?
-
I guess others have noticed that posts have not worked on the alt.music. polkas site for several days --- The last post that worked was one, and one only , on July 28 ( It's now Aug. 1) ---and even then , I tried to post a couple times that day, and got the message "Your post will appear momentarily"---but that never happened. ---I wrote to the "Google groups" email address provided on their site for "reporting bugs" the other day, about this, but so far nothing has changed. --Just tried a "new post" in case maybe posting could be done in that category , but no luck so far.---Maybe if others contacted "Google Groups" it would help ----Otherwise, maybe there'll be an "exodus" to this site, which of course deserves the attention and support.
There have been short delays in posting on alt.-polkas before , but not, to my recollection , for 4 days or more ---Before that happened, posts were gettting slower and slower. It may be just a coincidence that the youtube "viewer count" function was down in recent days for more than a week, too...or are hackers just running wild ? ---Maybe only "Google" knows ---and isn't telling... -
Just checked and it looks like maybe the site is "working" again---It's added a few posts---a few days later , in some cases...Interestingly, the recent youtube problem was similar ---It stopped adding numbers for more than a week and then they started trickling in again--Nobody knows if some were lost---When I googled that issue, there were sites where a lot of people were discussing the problem...

Yes, my posting about the passing of Pete Karnish that I posted there on Aug. 2nd, still has not showed up on that newsgroup site.
