Hi Tom,

Commas are a recent invention for language and quotation marks even
more modern. One writer, outraged by his publisher's demand that he
use punctuation put them all at the end of his book and invited
readers to draw from them and season his words as they pleased.

I am curious as to why I seldom see my own posts, and even then only
after a long delay, while I get most others almost immediately.
Obviously my post showed on your news server within minutes of my
sending it. I still haven't seen it here.

NNTP feeds are a strange thing. I'm surprised that it works. There
have been years when I had to wait quite long to see my own posts. I
am also surprised how computers can flip their bits a billion times a
second, and manage to not get lost (so often).
