[Peace-discuss] Re: [Peace] reminder: Martin Luther King events

[Laurie at advancenet.net]

Interesting how John's post, which was posted 1/18 @ 1:02 PM, arrived on my
computer on 1/19 @ 3:35 PM long after posts referring to it or replying to
it appeared on my computer.  The delay in receiving it is not due to my not
checking my email; so what happened to cause this?
