        Imidiate replies are not important, but timely replies are.  I see
no problem with getting replies out every hour or so, but getting replies
out on a daily or every four hour or whatever basis can be a bit of a
problem.  Having the sever down (like I did) for four days is not a huge
deal, but it is not nice to do to your subscribers.
