On all three I've been challenged. In my experience with lists, messages take seconds--minutes--even hours to be delivered, not days. Up until now. Is my experience unusual? If it can take days for messages to reach the list, we should be advised of that at some point, perhaps when filling out the initial posting form. If a person is to be challenged repeatedly by the system, perhaps the checkbox (allow all posts from this address) should be removed. Such steps would obviate needless concern and effort. -- happy Jonathan Berry and Erika http://www.islandnet.com/~jberry/fun.htm
