RE: Timelyness

I got it at 3:34 EST, although I think the reason it sometimes takes a
long time probably has more to do with your email server than it does
with midrange.
If I understand previous messages on this topic from David Gibbs
correctly, midrange often distributes the messages only to find your
email server is busy, so it tries again at regular intervals until the
message gets through.  This sometimes can even result in a response to a
post appearing to have arrived prior to the original post. 
Sometimes if I post a message and I'm really anxious to get a reply,
I'll go ahead and camp out at the midrange archives site repeatedly
refreshing the screen and I'll see responses pop up there before I see
them in my inbox.
