Thanks for a pointer. That does explain the symptom I saw number of
times, seeing list traffic that directly came to me hours before I
see a copy on the public list mirrors like gmane and public-inbox.

As it is a pain to access gmail inbox via imap (I was told that
something called "offline imap" may alleviate the pain, but I
haven't tried it yet), I tend to use NNTP interface to either gmane
or public-inbox almost exclusively, so like everybody else, it often
takes a message hours before I see it due to this throttling.  I do
not see the message I am responding to on public-inbox, and I am
responding to the copy I got direct from you, for example.
