I just received the posts below. My post was made several DAYS ago!! I
also noticed that my RTTY Roundup post took 24 hrs to show up on the
reflector. My other email recipients are receiving mail in a timely manner.
Is there something variably funky with the reflector?? Sorry for the
bandwidth, but the late-posting makes you look like an idiot when a post
shows up 3 days after the topics over. ;-) 73
