I think we're seeing the effects of a new phenomenon, an electronic
fad. The internet has suddenly become the "place to be". Traffic is
tremendous, much more so than even last year at this time (school
starting back has had an effect). I think it's just the fact that the
traffic very much exceeds the capacity of the machines trying to
handle it. I don't expect it to get better any time soon and I've
warned the users I support not to rely on email for time sensitive
stuff anymore.

I've noticed that it's taking nearly 4 days for messages to get out from
the time I send them. Wonder what's up? Used to take 5 minutes for me
to see my messages get propagated back.
