Re. Don's comment below, I recall some explanation for the haphazard delays on NatureNS from our list administrator a while back, but deleted it. The redwing post from Dorothy Poole on Dec 1 arrived here on Dec 6 -- taking 5 days -- while some posts seem to come through quite quickly, same day. The whole back-and-forth nature of communication is now chaotic. Rather than asking for explanations (presumably overloaded hardware, or new spam), is there any prospect of improvement now that the system has deteriorated this far? Canada Post would be quicker. A while ago, Blake Maybank (I think it was) commented that NatureNS is not archived and therefore not searchable, and suggested to consider that the list be switched to some other carrier that does have these facilities. Is it time to consider this seriously, for the additional reason of the current variable and sometimes extreme delays? I'm not technically well informed on this to know how much trouble this would be, or who would get stuck with the job, but some people on the list seem to be knowledgeable about the technicalities. Anyone want to bite into this one again? Or is the performance likely to get back to where it was a few weeks back?
