[newbie] Why is turnaround so slow on this mail list?

[Aaron Zuercher]

I send a message and it doesn't appear in my inbox for hours, sometimes a 
day later.  Some mail lists have 5 min. turnaround... whats the deal?

Also, is there a mandrake IRC channel?  If not, I might consider starting 
one, but would like to know the interest level in the group.  Let me know.
