Is it just me or is anyone else getting the messages (especially the How
about it? Thread) in completely the wrong order - my mail software is
putting the thread right but I seem to be getting replies to messages
I've not got)

Maybe it's just the sheer amount of traffic causing problems :)

I thought maybe that was just me. I keep seeing replies to messages I
haven't gotten yet, I thought maybe I was just losing my mind

It's probably being caused the overall high internet traffic due to the
typical last-minute Xmas shopping blitz here in the US. Lots of people are
shopping online, lots of credit card transactions are being made, and lots
of employees are surfing because work is slowing down and/or they would
rather be on vacation right now.

When this happens email sometimes gets delayed at various points along the
internet, so the message emails arrive out of order.

At least that's why I think it's happening <shrug>.

FYI, would the new members please place their replies below/after quoted

Yeah the list is still pretty messed up and it isn't just Yahoo or
Hotmail. I have tried subscribing with a few different accounts and
still seem to miss entire parts of threads. I am always surprised when
I look in the archives and see whole slews of things missing. Also, if
it helps in troubleshooting, I am getting the digest form.

BTW HAPPY 2064 EVERYONE! HOPE IT"S A GOOD ONE!
