where are all the posts?

I turned on the computer and see with dismay that there are only 3 posts
today-10 yesterday and only 6 the day before! I spoke to tech support and
asked about the paucity of posts and was told that their server had no
problem and that the problem would be in the newsgroup itself . What to do?
Anyone else with this problem? Sandy

This has been happening to lots of people lately, and is probably due to
the latest virus. Tech support was wrong, btw. I got home last night
from a 5 day trip and downloaded over 500 messages.

My post reception is very up and down at present - same with emails. It`s
either feast or famine. The virus checker seems to be working overtime
too - to the extent that appears to have choked itself today, and had to be
reinstalled from scratch. Don`t ask me why, but some of it`s components
suddenly went missing (it said!).

Still, real life kept us more than busy today, so computer life had to take
a back seat for a bit.

I can only say, perhaps you could relay this and other similar posts
to your tech support, that apart from perhaps a slight decrease, due
probably to people on vacation etc, the number of posts has not
suffered a drop for me - but I see some other, a minority, of people
saying it has since SoBig hit.

Personally, I do not necessarily trust anything my ISP techs tell me.
I have had the advice that all I need to do to have trouble free
service is quit using a firewall, quit using Norton, quit using
MacAfee, you name it, they have suggested it. I am on cable access,
I don't think I am going to quit using a firewall anytime soon lol
