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

And just think - those are the people saying Lucas is bad!
This 8:22 got here about 8:26, much better than your messages the other
night which were 30-45 minutes.
It is my understanding that the routing on the internet can be tortuous,
with stuff getting delayed at any point along the way, so it could be either
- or neither - end. 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 do get email from certain sources that always arrives much later than
(claimed) sent  time - Rock Auto is one. 

Can you get send/receive info from the Digest version?

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...

OK, so I responded to two different messages on this list.  I sent them
three minutes apart.  I received one from the list about 10-15 minutes
later.  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.   :-)

No, you are not imagining things, there can be some long delays in mail
getting sent out from
the server.  At the  moment the bottleneck seems to be mostly software
related.  The program
that translates between IP addresses and names is not responding as quickly
as it should.  And
with all the lists and all the addresses hostname lookups are a major factor
in the Team.Net <http://Team.Net/> 
mailing list software.

I'm looking into it.  Come the spring fund drive I may specifically request
assistance with a new
machine to run the nameserver, the current one is getting a bit long in the
tooth.  Donate
early, donate often ;-)

I may be able to improve things a bit later this week, we shall see. At
least the mail does
eventually go through.  Using something like http://www.team.net/forums
would not have
this issue, but a lot of folks prefer email.

mjb.
