If this is affecting more than just myself, the Debian-user lag is
becoming too large. I wrote a reply virtually identical to Cameron's
about 30 minutes later than him but his message wasn't on the list by
then.
And what I wrote 1 hour ago has still not appeared. I hope the lag can
be resolved.
Cameron's message written at 8:45PM (NZ Time) arrived at my Exim MTA at
9:48PM. I thought it was surprising no-one had answered Wayne. Multiple
answers due to lag just waste our time and puts more pressure on the
mailing list server.
