#2 Ok, mods. I have to call foul on why 3 posts I attempted late (Friday?) night were never added. I had interspersed my posts with highlighted commentary, appropriately placed, and chose to label them 'opinion'.

All 3 never showed up. 2 of the 3 were pretty darned important to politics and awareness and were in no way 'fluff' articles. In fact, they were important, little-exposed public documents published by our government.

Losing faith, I am. (at least Bama has another loss...Colts)

If mods want my email, I'll happily provide it. Show me how w/o posting it publicly.

#3 logi_cal, I am usually not on the Burg late in the day so I'm not sure what happened in this case. However, if you submitted these articles close to midnight Eastern (Fred's) time, it's possible they weren't noticed. Submissions that come in after late evening are usually reset to publish when the Burg rolls over at midnight. That reset has to be done manually by a mod. If your articles came in after the mods queued up the ones for the new day they might not have been noticed / reset. In that case they would end up in limbo, I think.

Just one possibility ....

Note also that not every submission is published. Sometimes we get duplicates. Sometimes articles are judged to be not quite a good fit here. But that's the exception, not the common event. I'm guessing yours fell through the cracks due to the late hour at which you submitted them.

#4 Rantburg's last attack, guess what percentage came from China? About 11 percent.

If you are wrangling a bot net, the attacks are going to come from someplace with a lot of computers, like the U.S. That says nothing about who is controlling it.

I believe the Chinese government.

I don't.
