mail delay

You may be wondering why there was so little fanfare when the new
WWP-Sanctuary was released, yesterday at 4 pm PST (midnight UST).
Well, I was here in my office at the university, setting up the new
site on the server. I sent out a slew of e-mails between 4:00 and 4:30,
then drove home through torrential rain. I checked my e-mail repeatedly
during the evening - nothing.
So I am back here in my office this morning. The e-mail had been in
limbo all night, sent but stalled somewhere (in the SMTP server?).
Maybe the campus network people thought it would be a good time to do
maintenance - who would be working on New Year's Eve?
Looks like the messages have been sent now - I received mine from the
lists.
Once more, thanks and congratulations to everyone who participated in
the World Wide Panorama!
Happy New Year,
Don
