Question: I just now recieved this email back from the list, and it's 12:50am on Wed. I posted this on Monday! Did other list members also just recieve this? I have also noticed other instances where my posts took a long time to show up. I don't seem to have this problem with other email lists or mailbox recipeints. Although I will test it further. Thanks...
