By the way, which list address are you now subscribed to...I switched from algebra. com to cyberpass.net, but now expect to see 2-3 hours delay before posts appear.
(This applies to others, too. I'm getting replies to my posts, when sent directly to me, literally hours before seeing it on the list. Someone mentioned subscribing to toad.com, which, to tell the truth, I thought had vanished as a list origination site months ago.)
If you subscribe to cypherpunks-unedited@toad.com you will get almost immediate receipt of toad.com posts much of the day. Algebra.com is generally only a short time lag behind, although this varies (and you get duplicates of the toad.com posts). The advantage of toad.com is that it gives you feedback as to the time-lag of the distributed lists. The advantages of the distributed lists is that you can change among them if one is temporarily having problems.
