[Zmagnette] List response time

[Allen Bachelder]

Fletcher,

Interesting that you got my 8:22 PM note at 8:26.  I didn't get it until 8:04 this morning!  But before I went to bed last night, I received Charlie's 9:42 PM note (at 10:03 PM), his 10:04 PM note (at 10:06 PM), Perkin's 12:42 PM note (at 10:08 PM - over nine hours later), and Kurt's 11:28 PM note at 12:08 AM.  

And your  8:52 PM reply to my note?  ' Showed up here at 10:08 this morning.

Go figure!

Allen

Sequential messages do not necessarily travel the same route. I expect a fly by night local ISP could be a factor in this, as it must interface with a "real" internet doofus.

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...

The other didn't show up for 30-45 minutes.  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.   :-)
