I'm seeing
 the responses well in advance of the original messages.
 Why would the list software do that? 
Same here, just in the last few days though. Didn't Jay mention a disk
crash a week or so ago? Maybe things are just clogged trying to catch up
since then and it'll all gradually sort itself out.

Hi
 There are all kinds of variable delays in messages on the web.
Even though, one message might go the fast way, another
might take a more roundabout method.
 There is any number of reasons that they might arrive out of
order is they were sent close in time.
