This must have been stuck in some queue, somewhere for 3 weeks.  My clock is 
periodically sync'ed from the MSU NTP server, so it's only as accurate as 
that host. ;^)

I sent that on Dec 31, 2001 (at 3:01am) as shown and it obviously made it to 
the GLLUG list because Ben Pfaff replied less than 15 minutes after I sent it 
(Thanks, Ben!).  His reply to me was CC'd to the GLLUG list, so you should 
have gotten that too.

Something must have gotten fouled up between GLLUG and you somehow (???).

I've seen mail that is delayed for inordinate times too, but I'm not sure 
whether it's always been GLLUG mail.  I'll have to start paying closer 
attention.

Many thanks for your words of wisdom on the Mandrake 'kapm-idled' issue!  
I'll pass it along to my brother-in-law.
