  taken for Mail to get back to you... Well, calbin... This has to
  do with the "links" between your college and mine.* The mail
  that you send to the list (and the mail that gets back to you)
  has to go through different colleges before it gets to you, or
  to me, or to anyone else on the list.* Sometimes one of these
  colleges that the mail goes through is over crowded with mail
  messeges (over-traffiked), and yours may be pushed aside at
  times... the smaller messages go before the larger ones, etc....
  All in all... it's pretty iffy...* it's something that everyone
  that uses the internet has to deal with... sometimes it's fast,
  sometimes it's not... --Ken
