I just rec'd your message at 1:15 p.m on Sunday Oct. 13,1996, In Florida. I was working on some email and have Eudora set to notify me of incoming mail. Since I was born and Raised in Kansas, I KNOW exactly where Nebraska is, and KNOW it isn't as far away as some of my QuiltNet friend in England & New Zealand, who's mail takes less than 30 minutes. It seems to me we are being put on digest, even if we want it or not. I rec'd 57 messages last night after 11, as I went to bed at 11,and my mailbox was empty. When I checked my mail at 3 a.m. (Yes John Walker, I am guilty of the #1 addiction of a Net Addict,but I just thought it was all PWP who always get up at 3 a.m.) there were 57 messages. Some dated 10/9 some dated 10/10 . This afternoon I started getting the 11 and 12 and now finally yours dated the 13th.. Even if it did take over 6 hours!! I'm glad you spoke up as I was all set to call my Internet Service Provider on Monday and raise the roof!!! I should have realized that since I'm getting QuiltNet from the Un. of Kentucky without any problems, that the problem lies elsewhere. As Ever, Marjorie Moorefield just another librarian (with PD) >From South Florida where we started the day 6 a.m. with a storm and it has continued all day. I'm so sick of rain!!!!!!! COME ON NOVEMBER!!!!!
