Newsgroups: comp.std.c++

This is an automated report about activity of our newsgroup
comp.std.c++. It covers period between the
previous report and the current one, ending
on Tue Oct 1 00:05:03 EST 2002.
Note that we do not report the number of articles cancelled
after they got approved, because the cancellations are done
manually. Typically messages get cancelled by requests of
posters themselves.
Lastly, the statistics below are skewed towards higher numbers because
there are always some test messages from moderators themselves who
approve and reject them to make sure that our robomoderator functions
properly.
Approved: 661 messages (of them, 0 automatically)
Rejected: 86 messages
Preapproved: 0 new posters

...and I read it on Mon Sep 30 at 6:00 PM PST, which (by my calculations)
is Mon Sep 30 21:00 EST 2002 -- more than 3 hours before the end of the
reporting period.
In the late 1970's, a client of mine asked for a way to start printing
the daily sales reports at noon. Not the morning sales or yesterday's
sales, but today's sales, sorted by customer. At the time, I told him
that we could only do this if he refused to make any sales after noon,
or at least allowed me to split the report into "morning sales" and
"afternoon sales." Eventually I did get him to understand that we
cannot produce a report until the data for that report have been entered.
What I failed to do in the 1970's, the C++ moderators now do
automatically. Complete September statistics, more than 12 full hours
before the end of September. I'm sure all the other language groups
are jealous! :-)

You did not read enough headers.

We Yanks do think we own EST, don't we. :)

You say that he asked for it to start printing at noon. Did he specify
any upper limit on how long it would take to finish printing? :-)

This would be the time-travelling undefined behaviour we discuss
elsewhere... :)
