Sorry to be slightly OT, but I'm wondering if anyone else is suffering the same problem I am here -- seeing responses to posts hours before the original query arrives! David Piven's post about low-memory systems arrived 3 1/2 hours after Alexander Baldeck's quick response... My address for the list is a 'computer.org' (IEEE) alias, and looking at the mail header, it seems to get to (and through?) turing.freelists.org speedily but the first computer.org server timestamp is 3+ hours on. I can't tell whether this means that turing is holding on to it for that time, or the receiving host is screwed up somehow. If it's the former, though, I'd expect it to be happening to others. Is it? If not, I'll get on to IEEE and see if they have a problem to fix. Thanks. -- Pete --
