There appears to be a problem with the cycle time to distribe replies
to "r-help": My reply (copied below) was submitted at 4/3/2003 8:26
AM,
some 4.5 hours after the original post. In those 4.5 hours, some 12
others had submitted public replies. However, none of those 12 had
arrived at my computer before I filed mine. My reply came back to me
some 24.5 hours after I posted it.
Perhaps this problem has already corrected itself. If not, I hope
that someone who knows how to arrange for correction of this kind of
problem will initiate effective corrective action. (Our colleagues at
the Eidgenoesche Technische Hochschule Zuerich may be suffering from too
much success.)
Best Wishes,
Spencer Graves
