Traffic on llti has been suspiciously slow for a while. I wonder whether we didn't experience just archive problems but also distribution problems, particularly with messages coming from the ".edu" domains.

I would appreciate it, if some of you who get this message within the next ten minutes (it is 1.18 p.m. East Coast Time) would send me a quick reply by forwarding this message to [log in to unmask] Otmar
