OT: google groups bug, or worse?

[aaronwmail-usenet]

I'm concerned that google groups is not correctly reflecting the
python lists. A month ago I announced the xsdbXML framework to the
python list and the python-announce list. As you can see from the
links
below the python announce submission was approved by the moderators
(thanks!)
and the python list submission also went out, but the messages cannot
be found at google groups.

http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-announce-list/2004-December/003583.html

Is it a google bug? Or is it something darker, like an anti-Python
conspiracy at google?

Inquiring minds want to know.

What did you google with? Is this it?
http://groups-beta.google.com/group...ll+defined+infrastructure"&qt_s=Search+Groups

I.e., searching for one of the first lines in your references

"The xsdbXML framework provides a flexible and well defined infrastructure"

in google groups.

Exact same thing happened to me on Jan 2nd.

That was my *reply* to one of the original posts using Google,
which I faked up when I couldn't find it (posted using google).
The two originals aren't there.

hmmm. -- Aaron Watters

You'd be paranoid too, if everyone was out to get you!

You didn't post via Google, right? Just sent to the mailing list?

I believe that Google knows nothing about mailing lists, but
watches a news feed, so if the list/Usenet gateway failed to
deliver those messages, Google would never see them.

Furthermore, news delivery is not necessarily guaranteed.
(Actually, I don't recall how reliable the protocol is,
but I doubt it's foolproof.) If any one of the news
servers between yours and Google's happened to drop some
messages, it's quite possible Google would never see
them.

Given the "architecture" of Usenet, I wouldn't be surprised
if Google missed messages consistently, a very small percentage
of the time.
