Sorry this post became victim to the “Missed Schedule” issue (I finally found out there is a ridiculous limit of 100 scheduled posts over which scheduling becomes unreliable; this limit used to be much much larger in the past).
[WayBack] Warning: Please do not schedule more than 100 posts. Any posts scheduled beyond that amount will not be published.
