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.)

That seems to be the case with my postings. However, I thought it was due to
my remote mail server. This could indeed cause extra traffic to the list.
