No I have not.

It sounds like a problem with your Usenet provider. Remember that this 
news group is a mirror of the mailing list python-list at python.org so you 
can check the mail archives to see if the problem is there. It is also 
mirrored by gmane (I *think* it is gmane.comp.python.general).

Some people also annoyingly send to both the newsgroup *and* the mailing 
list, not realising -- or not caring -- that they are the same thing.
