old, yet I still haven't gotten them. How do some people get email on this
list 10 hours ago, and I still haven't seen them, yet my mail with most of
the world is practically instantaneous?
I was on the phone this morning with a guy in Canada, and while we were on
the phone, I emailed him a picture and within 10 seconds, he was viewing it!
Yet on this group I see Paul responding to someone 11 o'clock this morning,
yet I still haven't seen the original post to which Paul replied.

I have the same problems but at different times on different lists. For a
few days many of my posts to this list would never show up (at least back to
me). Other times they were severly delayed. Then lately I haven't had any
problems here, but now on Analog Heaven I'm not seeing my posts that went out
ever a day ago. I am getting so fed up with this crap. Apparently the
morons who write the software to shuffle mail around the internet think it is
exceptable to lose a certain percentage of it. I don't know who's at fault
so I can't fire off an angry and hateful letter to the bastards. Computers,
I hate them.
