I'm interested in the 'average' news propigation time, as well as the 'longest' time. I am _not_ looking for each site to tell me how long it takes for news to reach them; rather, I am hoping that someone has done an offical or non-offical study of the USENET 'time lag.' Please _DO_NOT_ post replies! Mail them to me, and I will post a summary to the net in a week or so (if I get any answers, that is!). Thanks in advance.
