Through groups.google.com it takes 3 to 9 hours for posts to appear,
yet i notice that others posting at jets group posts show up as the
game is being played, is there another way into this group that has
posts go through right away, thanks for your time.

Posting on Google does go through right away. Whenever I use one
of my sock puppets on Google Groups I always check my normal
news server to see whether the post has been sent. It usually takes
less than 20 seconds for the post to arrive. The delay you describe
is with reading posts on Google since they only update their archive
of threads every 3-9 hours.

Ah! So on Google you're not reading the actual current news, you're reading
a big indexed file of news that Google has constructed?

One more reason to stick with conventional news servers.
