So far, for me, the bugs have been VERY few and far between. Good work,
Matthew!

The big surprise has been how quick response has been. If the Brit members of
the list are noticing a corresponding slow down to match the speed
increase I've seen, my sympathies, but you CAN get used to it. ;->=

Bad sign-offs continue on the old list, but  Jon ( Mr White, have I said
thanks lately?) and others have posted proper instructions, so we'll just
have to grin-and-bear...

Matthew: One thing, tho': I think I've noticed some double posts. At least one
was actually posted to both lists, so I'm not completely clear, but I'm sure
at least one, Wayne's 'Something Funny', was repeated, though it had a
confusing To: address. Whether problem, known 'feature', or folks not seeing
their posts and repeat posting, I'll have to leave for you to figure out.

If anything it's faster - I subscribed to the list and had a reply
before I'd finished dealing with my other mail. No more than 15 minutes across
the pond a
back again.  - impressive to say the least.

We'll have to see how the performance holds up. I'd be interested in people
both in the US and Europe letting me know how the performance stacks up.

On the Bolton server it would usually take hours before my posts came back to
me. Sometimes upwards of 5 or 6. I think the quickest turnaround time was
about an hour.

This one...*quite* a bit faster (I noticed this on the B5Wars mailing list,
too, back when I was on it). Under an hour, under half an hour, sometimes even
faster (then again, I'm working with small number statistics since I don't
post too often; don't want to bore y'all silly...)

FYI, Turnaround time from Long Island, New York, USA (heh) is really, really
quick. Under 5 minutes at times. No complaints here.

Turnaround in San Jose is a couple minutes tops. Faster than a Centauri with
the Runs....
