Progress in our understanding doesn't come from
the scientific community as a whole but from single
gifted people, and if they are ignored - you for
example are judging the book by Derk Ohlenroth
without having much as laid eyes on it - the progress
of the scientific community as a whole is being hold up.

BTW I have seen _almost_ no new postings to any newsgroup since
shortly after 2 pm yesterday (Monday) EDT.

Google may finally have realized what I told them
years ago: publishing a message immediately
lturns a group into a chatroom. For the time being
a message seems to get published only on the
next day. Deja published them hours or a day
later.

As usual, you confuse Google's web-based *interface* for Usenet with Usenet itself. It has always been normal for postings to appear immediately. (Why in the world shouldn't they?) It was Deja and then Google that weren't able to keep up with what everyone with direct Usenet access had been seeing all along.
