For several day mail from [log in to unmask], a list I co-own and manage, has arrived in a totally erratic pattern. On occasions, responses get to me hours before the original post, and in general, messages take from a few minutes to close to 24 hours to arrive. I just received a message I sent out to the list yesterday afternoon (I ma set repro). I am appending an interesting example. Yesterday one of my subscribers accidentally sent out an incomplete draft of the "New Priest" post (Post A) at Mon, 25 Sep 1995 10:41:23 EDT and the complete message (Post B) at Mon, 25 Sep 1995 10:41:18 EDT. Note that the time difference is a matter of 5 seconds! Post A arrived here at 26-SEP-1995 07:29:03.34 (Central Time) and Post B arrived at 25-SEP-1995 12:17:36.54 (Central Time) about 19 hours earlier. Is this happening to others? I also have a commercial e-mail address ([log in to unmask]) and am subscribed to Vatican2 there as well. Both messages arrived in the ionet.net mailbox within minutes of each other yesterday, around the time Post B arrived in my university account. My own message was also posted to my commercial account yesterday. This indicates to me that the bottleneck is in the route between Temple and the USAO system as opposed to the route used between Temple and Ionet. Any ideas?????

Recently ordained priests tend to see themselves as quite different from the people to whom they minister.
