Are the contents of the nanog list so incredibly important that we must get delivery within 5 minutes or less? If it takes longer than 5 minutes to propagate, do you get your post free? Oh wait, the list is already free...hmm. If you want near-instantaneous mail delivery, you can have it -- for a fee. As in all things, you get what you pay for. Personally, I am quite happy with the list as is -- the new list setup is a vast improvement over what things were just a few months ago. I'm not about to complain over a few minutes. How many of us check our email every few minutes anyway? Perhaps the delay will encourage people to wait, and consider their post before jumping on a thread -- that seems to be the real culprit. --msa
