Wow!  It finally showed up.  8 hours after the initial post.  At least, on my Yahoo mail account.

This is not the first time something like this has happened.  Many times with other users here, I'll get the replies hours before I get the original query.  Sometimes, I don't queries at all.

Also, about 1 in 5 to 1 in 4 of the posts and replies, including my own, get filtered as spam by Yahoo mail, but it's not consistent.  Sometimes, it's filtered; othertimes, it's not.  This happens not only with the Fedora list, but with the other lists I frequent.
