For those curious about the latency, I'm posting this at 12:08, on the US east coast. How long did it take to reach you?

I got it at 09:14, Pacific Daylight Time, so there appears to be no lag.

I got it at 11:53 PDT. I just checked the headers and the delay was split in a couple of places. (Correcting all times for PDT) thunk -> 9:10 -> alcor.process.com. (And they're off and running!) alcor.process.com. -> 9:10 -> toad.com. (delivered in 0 time:) toad.com. -> 11:29 -> relay3.uu.net. (Sat on toad 2hrs, 19 min) relay3.uu.net. -> 11:54 -> mail2.pilot.net. (Sat on relay3 25 mins ) mail2.pilot.net. -> 11:53 -> verity.com. (delivered into the past!) Of course these delays can vary a few minutes either way because of inaccuracies of time clocks on various machines.
