A rarity here, Randolph, for once I have to (very mildly) disagree on this
one point. A message I sent last night took just over three hours to show
its face. As far as I understand, its all a matter of 'packets' and
'streaming' - ie - any e-mail, when sent, is broken up into little 'packets'
of data by the cyberdemons. These 'packets' are then sent, via all the
relays of 'repeaters' and 'gateways' and 'bridges' etc through the webby
intricacies _but not necessarily by the same routes_ and can arrive at
destination in _any order_ where they re-assembled and appear again, entire
and a 'message'. Sometimes strays occur, which is when a message takes time
to get itself together, dazed as an involuntary TimeLord.
