A separate message is sent to each subscriber, therefore variation could occur. However, given the small size of this mailing list, any such variation should be insignificant and from my understanding, regular. By regular, I mean that if my time stamp is 2 seconds after yours on one message, then on a different message, the same difference would occur, therefore the order of events and time between events should not be in dispute. However, I don't know much about mailing lists either, so if someone else thinks that I am wrong, they probably have a point. On Tue, Jun 26, 2018 at 09:36 Kerim Aydin <ke...@u.washington.edu> wrote:
