Are the contents of the nanog list so incredibly important that we must get delivery within 5 minutes or less? If it takes longer than 5 minutes to propagate, do you get your post free?
I've seen it be better, and I've also seen it be a lot worse. But if speeding up the mail delivery time can stop the endless supply of useless replies to things which have already been addressed, I'd suggest it's worth it.
Oh wait, the list is already free...hmm. If you want near-instantaneous mail delivery, you can have it -- for a fee. As in all things, you get what you pay for.
And that $300 minimum * 500 people = $150k * 3 = $750k/yr charged at meetings, that doesn't count? -- Richard A Steenbergen <ras@e-gerbil.net> http://www.e-gerbil.net/ras PGP Key ID: 0x138EA177 (67 29 D7 BC E8 18 3E DA B2 46 B3 D8 14 36 FE B6)
