How much time the transmit function wastes varies. Sometimes it takes only a minute or two, other times it can take over 15 minutes. Many times there are other people waiting to use the system. There is often a line outside the clerk's office during sunday school. The ability to simply enter HT and VT results on a website at home would be a real help.

Good feedback. In general, making user interfaces concurrent result in significant additional complexity, which in turn requires a good deal of effort to engineer properly.

It's a separate thread to explore this topic, but of course we're all very bothered by software that forces us to go through extra work to accomplish repetitive tasks -- especially those of us who by our natures try and be as efficient as possible.
