There were some times this past week when almost all messages were dropped even for long time members of the group - mst of the message gettinr through were from google employees. You could see the number of messages drop from a dozen an hour to a 1 an hour (or roughly that ratio). I tried posting a question on the help forum. No response of any kind. Eventually after a few hours it started working again. This happened at least on two different days in the last week. It's not that big a deal - but it does kind of make you wonder about quality control or system reliability or user support or all of the above for google groups...
