This topic seems to come up with some regularity.  No doubt there is some
kind of problem from time to time, but talking about it here serves no
purpose since the cause is unknown, consequently so are possible solutions.

I too use g-mail, but it doesn't really matter to me when I receive the
postings from Gerry because I'm not going to monitor my e-mail on an hourly
basis, nor am I going to read the postings in a timely fashion as they come
in; I have other things to do, and I read the postings later, as time
permits.

For those of you who seem to go through withdrawals when your Gerry fix
fails to be delivered when you think it should, it's a simple matter to go
straight to the archives(http://gerry.vanagon.com/archives/vanagon.html),
and click on the current week to see if what's there is more-recent than
what you have received; you will then know if your Gerry traffic is being
delayed or lost.

In view of that alternative, discussion here is of negligable benefit to G-
mail users, and certainly of no benefit at all to the majority of the
thousand-member Vanagon list.
