Hpmh. Email can take rather arbitrarily long to get from point a to point b (of course this is less true than it used to be..). I'm writing this on a net-disconnected laptop; the mail may not leave my laptop's queue until as late as sometime tomrrow morning when it automatically powers itself on and sends out queued mail over the network card I will hopefully remember to put in the laptop tonight. The moral is, if you're going to flame someone for being redundant, look at their message's Date header first. -- see shy jo
