And why is it so slow? I've had the same problem.

Two things annoy me: 1) By the time I get the "Do you really want to post this message?" inquiry there's no point in responding in the affirmative because someone else has already made the same point (this is just one reason I don't post to the list often though). and... 2) Reading replies on the list before the original post arrives (mainly because messages are sent privately and CC'd to the list and the original sender hasn't had time to confirm the message should be posted). It's annoying learning someone is a Stroke without first knowing what they've said to deserve the label :-) :-) :-) :-) Cheers, Simon Simon L Hartley RSM Website Coordinator\First Year Course Coordinator Associate Lecturer School of Resource Science and Management Southern Cross University P.O.
