Hiccups

Good morning everybody

Klaus, Tom and I seem to be having problems with the receipt of mail and with
the time it takes to arrive.

Messages have taken up to four days to get on to the list.

I had assumed that the problem arose with CompuServe who have been having
difficulties lately. Klaus is on Compuserve and so am I. But I do not think Tom
is.

Steve has told us that there are problems at UNSW but evenso it does seem
strange that other correspondences are started and finished in the time it takes
for one's own bon mots to get on to the list at all.

It would be good to establish the scale of the problem if it exists.

Perhaps this has something to do with queue theory.
