I guess that if mail sent to the nanog list wouldnt take 5-60 minutes to
get delivered to all people on the list, people would sooner see that
someone else has actually answered the email in question, and wont answer 
themselves.

I remember this being discussed earlier, is there any perticular reason
why this hasnt been fixed? If nanog-l is supposed to be a list for
operational purposes, doesnt that require speedy delivery in a lot of
cases?
