I wonder if anybody from google reads this group. I notice that the
nonsensible message that a posting will appear 'momentarily' still
appears when you post through google. In the English speaking world
this means that the post will appear and then disappear shortly
thereafter.

Can't google recognise that most people in the world don't speak Yank
and replace the message with - 'your posting will appear in a moment',
or, if that is too much, 'your message will appear shortly'. These both
make sense in English and Yank.

The really odd thing is that this problem was fixed about six months
ago. When you posted to a 'uk' or 'za' group it said 'your post will
appear in a moment'. However, strangely, this fix to the problem has
disappeared.

Why did somebody fix it and then put the bug back? It seems very odd to me!

It's grammatically incorrect even in the USA. But this is Googleland.

Do they ever fix bugs reported in this group? If not, is there a better
place to report them?
