In USENET it can take up to a day until everyone can see the post. It's also possible that you see the answer to something w/o seeing the original question yet. Nothing wrong with that, but it's something different to how CCC works at the moment. Also, messages which only make sense for a few minutes or hours (like game-number of a certain game in ICC) won't be possible anymore. Some people will consider this a good thing, others a bad thing. Another point is that moderation as it works here won't work there. You either have no moderation or you have a moderated group, where each post has to be approved first before it gets forwarded to the group. (at least I think that's how it works, please correct me if I'm wrong) Sargon
