Yes, things were really slow at the IMC servers today. The 8am list
moderation notifications didn't get out until sometimes in early
afternoon, by which time I'd already taken care of most of the lists I
normally deal with anyway. But they did get out.
This is a reminder that email is not necessarily a good medium for
time-sensitive info.
