Could you please take email reading lag into account? It certainly used to be good manners on the Internet to allow for the possibility of lag in online communications. Although email is a lot faster nowadays, crossed messages still happen; and in my case, although the messages weren't crossed, replying to earlier messages before reading later ones is still a habit that should be allowed by other users.
If you're impatient, move to a fast medium like a message board or IRC, rather than a slow medium like email or Usenet. (It's also worth noteing that emails to me occasionally get held up several days due to maintenance of the bham.ac.uk networks, although this isn't happening right now, and things I send tend to get rather out of order and apparently irrelevant when that happens.) -- ais523
