Last night I made reference to this message, thinking
it had already been posted to the list. The time lag
between submitting a message seeing it come back through
the digest is very confusing to me. I'm afraid it may be
a couple of weeks before this discussion gets sorted out.
But if there is one thing that time lag does for this
list, it seems to keep the heated responses to a minimum.
I know I've been a bit short in a few of my messages.
It's not intentional and when they come back days
later I usually wince.
