Aw gee Derek, you didn't notice my headers, I use gmane too. I use it
through a time-limited dialup in a remote location and service drops
often even when connected, so I understand your point.

I only mentioned this because lately I've noticed a lag from you in one
case of 5 hours, which probably wasn't due to weather. Anyhow, we've
managed to get the issue out so everyone can consider it. No harm, no foul.
