Sure, but it appears they aren't necessarily posting the articles,
though they are propagating them to other servers. The two articles
that I posted to newsguy never did show up on their server! But
both of them showed up 20+ minutes later on supernews, so they are
being sent to other servers.

Hmmm... I occasionally get that with supernews, though it hasn't
done if for a few days now. I've usually killed the process, and
then waited awhile to see if anything showed up. The problem is
that on a couple of occasions I've waited for an hour, and then
reposted only to have the original also show up awhile later too.

I'm a bit torqued at my ISP for switching to supernews. They were
using america.net, and I found it to be better than either supernews
or newsguy (and I've been using newsguy since it was zippo.com, way
back when).
