Last night noting an absence of list mail I pinged and found
toad.com live but got no response (then) from majordomo on a
"who cypherpunks" query. Tried first at 00:30 then again at
02:00. Netcom allowed the responses to be received at 04:49
within two seconds of each other! I append the headers to
document this amazing disservice.
Since 47 of the 530 cypherpunks are netcom users, I think
the rest of the list should understand the difficulties we
face in getting posts in any timely fashion. It does make
discourse difficult.
