Thanks for the response, although a situation of "delayed databases" does not entirely address the anomalies being seen. For instance:

on 10/1/2003, ADN listed a newspaper "Indiana Democrat (Indiana, Pa.), Various years ranging 1862-1937", which the Update page did not; but the Update page listed "Morning Oregonian (Portland, Oregon)" which ADN did not.

on 10/2/2003, ADN listed 3 newspapers (The Charleston Daily Mail (Charleston, W.Va.), Various years ranging 1915-46; Bluefield Daily Telegraph (Bluefield, W.Va.), Various years ranging 1896-1905; and The Elyria Chronicle (Elyria, Ohio), Various years ranging 1903-1919) which the Update page did not list; but the Update page listed "Bangor Daily Whig and Courier (Bangor, Maine)" which ADN did not.

So ... not only is ADN incorrectly reporting databases which are pulled from live production at the last moment; the ADN is NOT reporting databases which do go live. Is QA also making last-minute unannounced substitutions?
