I posted a reply this morning in response to several messages here,
and I included two different versions of the script I'm using that
keeps failing. I posted my reply through the google groups interface
but my post does not show up at the google site and it's been about 8
hours since posting. How long does it take for posts to show up if one
uses the google interface because this delay is absurd?
