As you are a prime example, remember the news groups go world-wide.

So if the original poster is in the USA, I may see the message a few hours after the posting. I start on a reply a few hours after that, about the time that you see it in Germany. You start on your reply about the same time I post mine.

It all depends on things like how busy the news servers are, the locations of the original poster and the folks that reply (relative to the network backbone, not necessarily geographically), and how fast folks respond.

If you thought Einstein's Relativity was weird, the world wide Net has its own weirder version.

HTH,
