You missed:
(4) the server overload caused by people who don't like e-mail lists telling the people who are perfectly happy with them they are fools. Wait a moment. I've got it. All these pro-web-forum messages are 1st April posts, aren't they? :-)

The lag time on SMTP list depends on three factors:
(1) The volume of the traffic;
(2) When you registered (if you registered two years ago, for example, you receive mail in a large list before someone, say, who registered a month ago);
(3) Various points of network congestion and delays.
During peak times on this list, people who have recently registered have a
one hour lag time to receive messages and it has little to do with ISPs,
etc.
Some simple math. (not completely accurate) ........ If there are 2000 people on the list and it takes 2 seconds to deliver a message, and you are at the end of the list, then it will take 1000 seconds to get mail, or 15 minutes to get mail. If any network congestion, then it could take an hour for some people at the end of the list (which you will not see if you are at the first of the list).
Yesterday, during peak traffic, for people at the end of the list, the lag time was over one hour, easily measurable. Mr. Mountifield's message test was not (1) during peak traffic and (2) he ,may not have registered recently, because if he did, he would have seen the serialization lag time.
Let's use this message, mornings are busy. I send it a 9:13 EST..... We will see when it returns.
