Wow, now I understand why a lot of people repost. This took almost a full week from when I sent it until it hit the list. The reply to this post hit the list three days before this did. Kind of eliminates the ability to argue the top-post reply versus the bottom post reply to mailing lists when the order they get posted has nothing to do with time sent.
The date on the original post is 3/29, I replied to it the day I saw it on the list 4/1 and that reply hit the list 4/7. That's some massive lag.....
Hi Randall No, that is not why a lot of people repost unfortunately, what you ran into was the mailman instance that administers the list had stopped processing for a few days. This is very rare, I think it has happened 3 or 4 times in the 13+ years it has been running. Once the queue processing started again it caught up. Hence a flurry of email. Fortunately this is very rare, and unfortunately, no there are still impatient people :) Chris -- Chris Cormack Catalyst IT Ltd. +64 4 803 2238 PO Box 11-053, Manners St, Wellington 6142, New Zealand
