I'll suggest one other possible reason that can explain correlative experiences... ISPs route mail through various servers. Some servers and router nodes are notorious (or considered as such) for also being entry points for spammers. This means that innocent mail that gets routed through one of these nodes may be tagged by a filter and dumped into a delay or holding pattern. If your ISP follows the rules, they are not supposed to subcontract mail routing in certain ways....but some ISPs have reputations for violating these guidelines. They don't violate them consistently, so sometimes your mail may go through quickly, sometimes not...and sometimes mail to servers that host listservs are more particular than those hosting individual accounts. In otherwords---the premise that because people's mail does not 'go through' in a 'timely' manner may be valid.... but the conclusion that this is the result of censorship, um, well, not so much. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
