The way I handle this type of situation (replying to a message only
to find that there is a later reply that make my original reply
unneeded) is to not immediately send my reply after I compose it but
to just leave it queued. That way I can see later replies and delete
my reply before it gets sent. Once I have read all the messages, any
remaining replies are then sent.
While this will not help if Shmel gets messages with a delay, it
would allow all the messages he has received to be read and replied
to (and unneeded replies removed) before his replies are sent out.

It can't be that; Shmuel's posts are quite regularly about 36 hours
late. Whether he gets the originals late or his replies are delayed, I
leave for the mail header forensics types. The result is often
frustrating, whatever its cause.

I don't understand. The original post was two days ago, as were the 15 or
so replies. Then yesterday, after 36 hours of radio silence, you post as if
nobody had replied.
Are you receiving posts via carrier pigeon?
