Days go by and you can't get responses to your posts. I rejoined the list and posted yesterday and still haven't seen incoming number one. The post hasn't appeared on the archives either, although the archive page shows later messages. I'm "replying" to a post I read in the archives from a few days ago. I don't have any mail in my gnu-win32 inbox to reply to. In a day or two I'll get a hundred messages. Do the administrators know about this, or is it happening to just a few of us? I don't know enough about majordomo to understand why the cygnus download traffic would cause delays on the order of a few days, in the mailing list. I think it's important to address this problem because one of the benefits of open source, is that you can get sometimes same-day fixes, or post fixes as soon as you've fixed them. But when 48 hours, or more, elapse before your fix or report even gets distributed, it's hard to make that argument. BTW when the messages do come in this is a really productive and useful list.
