I've seen it happen within hours but typically I still wait about 2 days before I know DNS has been propagated out all DNS servers.
I have my domain name and registration plans with tucktail.com/ I reckon it resolves the DNS server issue with in half an hour.
I agree with @bitmanx, however, a lot can also depend on the registrar. I register my domains with Enom and US propagation time is measured in minutes and world propagation is usually less than 24 hours.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
