That may or may not be the case. There is no way to know.

I looked at the most recent NNTP posts visible in WebNews. Then I looked at
the next few NNTP posts in my newsreader, these are about 7 hours old and
not yet visible in WedNews. That's the basis on which I conclude there is
currently a 6-8 hour delay.

If there is a delay of 6-8 hours, it is not for "NNTP posts" per se.
Instead, it affects all postings.

AFAIK there are only two types of postings, NNTP (newservers and numerous
web mirrors which in turn post NNTP) and via the MS Webnews interface
(there are at least two of these representations of these, I assume though
they are one and the same). From what I can make out the WebNews posts
arrive both to WebNews and NNTP within a few minutes. NNTP posts get
propogated pretty quickly, but with the delay to MS-WebNews.

Good. I'm sure everyone would appreciate it. I only hope you will report
the problem as I stated it, not your interpretation of it.

I simply reported the 6-8 hour delay of NNTP posts becoming visble to
WebNews (fwiw similar problems sometimes with delays of many delays occurred
through several periods last year). But if you think I've missed something
feel free to explain.
