Re: harpo.631: speak for yourself
The net.columbia articles originate from research, which has a dialer, and
are sent directly to other BTL sites which have dialers.  I get them on
cbosgd (several hops away) long before I hear them on the news.

I don't know exactly how the net configuration looks these days, but I thought
that the BTL sites that send news to ucbvax and duke sent it as soon as it
came in, since they have dialers and don't have to wait for a poll.
Thus, there is no reason why columbia news should be delayed more than a few
hours in getting to dukgeri or ucla-s.  If this is not the case, would
someone from those sites please tell me what the typical routing path
of articles they get is, so I can attempt to track down the delay.
