When I was a wee lad, the sysadmins had this chant about "email is an asynchronous medium". Still is, despite the general lack of 9600 bps modem links anywhere at all these days. One server getting a bit munged anywhere near the actual list's server will slow things way down for anybody downstream. This is especially likely on summer weekends, since an awful lot of quiet maintenance and upgrades happen then. -- Graydon -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
