What's up with USENET? Neither Dejanews nor altavista list any postings for today 2/1/99? JAE in action?

aaaa, Since first thing this morning I've been unable to retrieve USENET y2k messages from today. Don't know what's going on.

So much for PLAN B.

I just checked Dejanews (search; subject: y2k). There were no posts dated for today (1 Feb 1999)on any of the "found" sites, however, I went to comp.software.year-2000 and there were several posts dated with today's date so that site is working anyway. Mayhaps it is a case of "broke" stuff?

news:comp.software.year-2000

Back to plan B?

S.O.B.

It it's broke, it's on the dejanews end of things. USEnet is fine. My newsreader gets 100s of messages for today and yesterday I got 100s of them too. Bobbi http://www.buzzbyte.com/

Yeah, my reader was working fine too Bobbi, and, FWIW, dejanews now lists several posts dated today. I guess whatever was stuck got unstuck.
