Short intervals are fine; the faq-server just isn't as accurate as you
might expect. Depending on the state of the faq-server and MIT's news
servers, postings sometimes don't post until they're a day or two
overdue. Everything looks fine, but if it doesn't post in the next
day or two please let us know.
