The Baha'i Studies Listserv few would agree that the internet functions with marvellous swiftness everywhere. Compared to what we had 40 years ago -U.S. Postal mail - the paper kind, compared to that, the internet is truly marvelously swift. It used to take a week or more to mail a letter from the U.S. to Japan. Now it takes maybe 5 minutes.

Re: Fulfilled yet?
The Baha'i Studies Listserv Once upon a time, even tho’ the internet technically existed, it was not generally available, not even to all gov’t agencies. Don’t remember his name, but he was a Baha’i working for a state department of agriculture extension service, maybe for Wisconsin. How pleased he was to be able to use FidoNet to send msgs to the hinterlands of Africa. With a little luck, they could ask a question via FidoNet and have an answer in as little as 3-4 days, compared to, possibly, that may weeks by conventional mail.

The Baha'i Studies Listserv If you check the bottom of your messages you'll see the unsubscribe directions are below. I think you've been subscribed for some time but the list has been fairly dead lately so you probably didn't realize it.
