Subject: delays mailing to the list RE: Full Steam (Large binaries)
This brings up a question I've had. When I email to the list, the message doesn't show up until hours later. It may be that Neil saw that the files were protected before he heard requests to not send big files, sent them, and then got those messages. In a little while, we'll get the "Doh!" messages where Neil wishes he hadn't resent them, the messages castigating him for sending them again, and then this one. Do other people see this delay? I wonder if this causes more traffic, because of people responding to something they haven't seen answered yet. Then all the various responses, mailed earlier, start showing up later. My whole family played Full Thrust last night. I gave each two simplified cruisers (Micromachines ships), and we played on the living room floor. My wife got the hang of it quickly (she has played before), my son (5 years old) was into it but needed help (he always wanted to dash off somewhere and then turn around), and my daughter (3) was completely clueless, but had fun rolling dice. (We hate to leave her out of things, but she can slow down a game a lot.) andy > -----Original Message-----
