[Zmagnette] List response time

[Allen Bachelder]

I'm seeing erratic response times: some later responses coming in hours before some earlier ones.  ' Could tolerate the delay much more easily if it were consistent.  I'm talking delays of much more than 30-45 minutes.  I'll write a reply about this time in the evening and it might not show up for 20-24 hours.  In the meantime, other replies are coming in hours earlier, to questions posed later.  Tonight I received two or three replies before I received the questions involved.   Somebody sent in a picture.  I have a reply from somebody else who reports seeing it, but I haven't received the picture post yet...

' Don't think we're there yet...

Can anyone explain to me why this is?  What is causing such a long delay?  I'm sending this one at 7:10pm Eastern Time.  Now we'll see if everyone gets this at 7:11pm just to make a liar out of me.   :-)
