And a few people do read it. And some of those are newbies who do actually get some use out of that.

BTW - what other aliases are you using, so we can get an idea of how many useful replies you have posted.

Funny thing - 4 hours later and groups.google.ca > cdo.server does not have this post (your comment) yet. (I use PAN - generally min. delay)

Fact is, lag is variable and Jonathan was probably trying to tell posters that delays happen, so don't get buns in a knot and repost after 5 minutes.

So if you consider this an error, you are somewhat off-base.
