Just out of curiosity, anyone else having to wait a relatively long
time to get their repro'd message? The lag here at Nyx in Denver has
gone from a norm of about 2 minutes max to about 10 miinutes now.
Trivial, I know, but that's my life. =)

The repro here in Norway appears pretty quick, I would say less
than two minutes, but because you asked I will now measure the
time taken for this message.

And the result is: 1 minute 28 seconds, how is that for trivia?

Isn't modern technology wonderful?

You've got a ten minute lag? Lucky stiff... my repro'd stuff takes a good
couple hours to get back to me... or at least that's what it was last time I
checked... oh well...
