I've seen this happen now and then since I've been on this list (about 4 months). Not every day, more like once or twice a week. It seems like the whole list gets clogged for a while (2-6, occasionally 8+ hrs), then a flood of messages all come in at once. So it's not that every email to the list takes hours and hours to post, it's that if you post during one of these hold-up times, your message will come when things start flowing again.
I have no idea if this is related to time of day/week, or if it's related to the high activity (about 3800 subscribers, avg. 115 messages/day), and I don't participate in any other large google groups, so I don't have any comparison there. - Richard On 10/1/07, sgrover <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > I'm seeing some odd behavior and just wanted to know if this is normal > for this list. > > When I send a message to the list, I'm seeing a 6+ hour turn around > before my message shows up.
