[Outages-discussion] List propagation improvement

[Jay R. Ashworth]

Thanks to Jared, who runs the machinery of the Outages lists, for hammering
on that machinery this week; propagation time through the list server appears
to have dropped from several hours to about 5 minutes.  :-)

Hopefully, this will have the effect on the lists of *reducing* overlapping
reports, since everyone will get to see them more timely... and not *increasing*
them (since everyone will get more of them to reply to). 

We hope the lists remain a useful service to everyone, and if you want to 
unsubscribe, remember that there's a link to do so in the footer of each 
message you receiver.

And, as always, remember that if you send a message to outages, you may be
setting off 10,000 pagers.  :-)

Cheers,
-- jra
