This is a special issue to let people know why things are slow in the FML. The FML, the FML computer, the links and even Chris Lewis (the FML moderator) are all completely operational. Unfortunately, the Internet machine that's providing the gateway into the Internet (which includes getting to the list exploder) is having some sort of problem with its mailer. At times it's taking 18 hours or longer for mail to be enqueued to my machine from the time it gets to uunet.ca. The FML continues to operate, but remember it's often taking two days or more for an inbound message to be seen by everybody else. Please have patience. [Posted in FML issue 0704]
