RE: response time list

No, you're not missing anything. ;-) This list will be slower than what you're used to on telelists. The reason for that is that we batch up the sending and receiving of list traffic to better aggregate the load. The benefit is a bit better workload for our server and a "breathing space" in between messages which might get looped, thus keeping your mailbox from filling up if there were problems. The downside is that the response isn't immediate.

Depending on when you hit our pickup times, your response could be as quick as 10 minutes, and as long as an hour or so. Of course, there are always other network connections in between, and those have an impact, but that's another story.

As to your second question, sending a copy of the message to the original author is the *default* behavior for the list, so yes, you should see your messages.

If you, or anyone else, has questions about delivery times or other problems, don't hesitate to contact me. I can be reached at this address or at Postmaster_at_fatcity.com

thanks,
