Hi, that's the only argument I agree with where an IM system has a big
advantage. But, remembering the older ML days, it mostly took only a
couple of hours as well. And, the request wasn't lost or over-posted by
new stuff.
It's up to us to use the ML. As with every community thing, it starts
working only if a critical mass of people is using it. And lately, a lot
of us Rebolers were teared away to AltME.
For myself, I will restart using the ML much more than in the past.
