I know for a fact that Yahoo's frequently defers inbound email, for minutes, if not hours. > Mailing-lists suck Cartman's balls. I can tell you what sucks. Logging onto multiple disparate discussion forums, all with different credentials and unique user interfaces - especially when there's no activity on them for hours/days. Cheers, _______________________________________________ Yes, I did think that it's Yahoo! that's creating the delay, but that's even the _bigger_ problem. The way I see it is many non-tech (newb) users of Tor use web-interface e-mail services, like Yahoo!, Gmail, etc. Now, I understood the problem was due to the mailing-list software of Yahoo!, or a mix of both, so even though I was pissed I understood. Most newbs are not going to understand, not that newbs would use a mailing-list in the first place . . . In terms of "multiple disparate discussion forums" could we, for example, use these as examples? Tor bug tracker Tor blog Tor mailing-list Tor e-mail help Tor phone help Tor stack exchange page Tor IRC server . . . my point being the problem you propose is _already_ here, and newbs get to use practically none of those, except the blog (which gives them very little help), or e-mail or phone (but I'm sure those that operate those services would love a newb pressure release valve, aka "discussion forum.") Thanks :) _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
