Unacceptable Delay

Fri Jul 11 15:51:36 UTC 1997

It's interesting to note the delay in the NANOG mailer. I don't know if
there's any manual operation involved, but according to the headers, Rob
posted this at 7:43, it was received at 7:43 pdt by MERIT, and shipped
out at 8:15 pdt.

I guess we're lucky this isn't an operational list, where time might be
important ;-)

Can we improve this?
