I'm still getting stuff out of order sometimes. For example, Wednesday, I sent
a post off into the electricity at 2:10 p.m. EDT. There had been at least
three or four responses to it before it got back to me at about 10:00 p.m.
Yesterday, my post about using the Varimagni finder with the E-1 went away from
here at 12:10 p.m. It returned to my "in" box at 2:20 p.m.
I'm too dumb about this computer business to have even half a clue whether it's
ATT, the list server, the guv'mint, Martians, or maybe a localized quantum
singularity. Heck, it might even be me. Maybe I got the postage wrong. :-)
