      [repost w/fixed subj, as original subj w/system subbed for
   cistern, hasn't been echoed on list for >50 minutes]

Please Linda, there's no need to cc me.  I subscribe to this list.
I don't need to get two copies of your mail responses.

Sorry, but my responses don't always make it through to the
list.  I had to retitle 2 of my posts using "cisternd" in the title
to get them to come through -- THEN my original posts that had
systemd in the title came through.

     Given the unreliability of the posting mechanism here,
putting you on the delivery list is the only way of ensuring
that the person I am responding to gets the message, though it
doesn't solve the delayed/moderated post problem.

     Question will be how long this message take to show
up in the list.  If I see the echo back within 1 minute (usually
it's under 30 seconds (see below)) I'll know it went through.  If I don't
I know that Cc'ing is the only way you will know that I did respond
to you -- it is, also, only the only way you will know I responded,
as the list copy seems to have become unreliable.  Note in the headers:

In GMT:

   From 28-Oct-22:50(sent)... passed through to the list @ 29-Oct-10:15
=> (decimalized):
   1029:1015(arrival on list) - 1028:2250(sent) =>     0000:0815 == delay
of 8h15m

The first email w/this problem (in ISP sent/rcved & decimalized):
   1027:2210 -> 1029:0316 => 0001:0506 = delay of: 29h06m

Vs. "Normal mail" (in ISP-sent/rcved):

  1028:234452(arr.) - 1028:234437(sent) => 15 second delay for a "normal
message"
and
  1028:234103   - 1028:234122           => 19 second delay for other
"normal message"

I.e. depending on the subject (and likely sender), am seeing
an additional delay of 18.5 hours (std.dev 9.5 hr) (with 29 hour max)
over a sample size of 2.

With such random delivery times, it makes sense to ensure,
that at least, the person I am responding to gets a timely
copy.
