Subj: Re: Roger Shilcock's concerns about message arrival

Roger mentions that my comments on postings sometimes arrive before
the posting itself.

I am quite surprised by that Roger. I can't figure out how that could be
happening a great deal. My own experience with KLARINET is that the messages
I post are often placed on my board within a minute after they were dispatched
by me to KLARINET itself, and I always presumed that everyone was getting that
kind of service. Clearly I have misled myself in my expectations of
system performance.

I don't know to what extent I can do anything about it. It is very rare for
me to be on the system, have a message arrive, and respond to it at once,
which would make that situation a definite candidate for the condition that
you describe. It may be one of the things that we shall have to live with
on internet, along with the other half-dozen or so inconveniences of the
information superhighway.
