I've experienced both severly delayed and lost.  For example I could write 3 
posts in a row, separated only by a few minutes, sending each one after I 
write it only to have the 3rd one show up but the first 2 I never do see no 
matter how many days I wait.  Most of the time other people can see them 
though, but on the Nord Modular mailing list I have confirmed that even that 
is not the case all the time.  People have to go back to the archives and 
there the lost posts sit but they don't show up in people's mailboxes in any 
reliable or predictable way.  This also happens on the AH list which isn't 
yahoogroups.  This kind of stuff annoys the hell out of me.  I have no idea 
what I'm missing or if others are seeing my posts.

I too will sometimes see answers before the questions are asked.
