Petri,
Maybe you feel it is slow compared to your local network. You've got to
remember that this is the *worldwide* internet and how things get routed
to/from list server depends upon traffic *worldwide* <G>
And this is e-mail and not some type of quick chat or chat channel. To
be able to have only a two hour lapse between send and receive for
written correspondence worldwide is pretty damn good! It beats the heck
out of snailmail and is a lot cheaper than a conference call on the
phone and a lot simpler than a shortwave radio conference [which would
require relays to get around the world anyway].
l.d.
