Subject: [alt-beam] Re: server changes


Hello Ed,

That's what I've been suspecting as well actually ... last couple of days
I've been rather busy, so I didn't read my messeges as good as I normally
do, but sometimes I couldn't make heads or tails out of some ... just
thought it was me, with my head in a totally different space.

I did get the feeling that I was the only one (or one of few) who got their
messages late and that I missed beginnings of discussions where I would
have liked to have reacted (sometimes correspondence on this list is quite
fast and then half an hour delays are not handy if others keep on
discussing stuff).

Hope this problem will be solved soon.

Regards,

Wouter Brok
