The Google Groups website was not getting updated. The last posts in talk.politics.misc and comp.os.linux.advocacy, both high-volume newsgroups, were dated about 7am 7/17 -- yesterday. The last post showing in sci.astro was dated 5:28am yesterday. The last post in the Gravimagnetics thread is yours from 5:26am yesterday.
This happens every couple of months. I finally got through to a phone operator, who wouldn't tell anyone that Groups has not been updated for 27 hours. Of course she treated it as my problem and said they don't give phone support. She told me to go to Groups Support on the website, and it turns out that the only way to tell them about anything is to post a message in one of the support groups, which of course doesn't work. I told the operator over and over again that it's a recurring problem with Google that they need to fix, and that I'm a computer engineer and I didn't need any personal help. She finally said she would tell someone, but I don't know if that was just to get rid of me. But in any case, I think someone has fixed it. The latest articles in those three newsgroups are now from about 7:40am yesterday. It will take many hours for the system to catch up and show recent posts. Google's phone number is 650-623-4000.
