Re: Wierd latency problems with the list?

["Robert E. Burger" <rburger@xxxxxxxx>]

David,

I hadn't really thought about the weather issue since it's been ridiuously nice 
here (Dallas/Fort Worth) until yesterday.  I was
just feeling some guilt about the dupe postings bith in Midrange and COBOL.  
Thanks for hosting the lists...  They'd saved my
bacon more times than I can count.  As a matter of fact I had a big hissy fit a 
few days ago because while in the process of
archiving a bunch of e-mail I accidentally deleted about 35,000 messages from 
MIDRANGE.  I loved having them on hand because I
always serached the existing messages for answers to the problem at hand and 
then posted a message if I couldn't fin a previous
thread that addressed it.
