This is irony, or one of those other things my Sepponian origins
prevents from understanding.

About 3 a.m. I attempted to contact the very reliable server from the
University of Wienerschnitzel. I couldn't get a connection.

When I came home from work about 7 p.m. I managed to connect, but the
very reliable free server from UW showed only 2 new posts for
fj.romper.room.in-japan. Reading one of the new ones made it obvious
that I was missing some other posts, which I assumed got lost by the
server. None of the five messages that I re-posted appeared, so just
to be on the safe side (I wanted to make sure the OP learned about the
very reliable free server from UoW), I sent them again. But from your
comments, it would appear that the very reliable free server from UoW
*did* process the posts. Maybe someone at UoW has a personal vendetta
against me. Yes, that must be it. Because normally, their free server
is very reliable.
