Yahoo!Slow

I noticed this morning that the Yahoo!Group was slow at relaying a message of mine. Chalked it up to server issues.

When Stu posted about his being away for the Dark Sky Observing session, he noted that his earlier post had not appeared. And apologised for the possible duplication.

When Tom started sending test messages, for us to ignore, I realised it was going to get messy. I logged into our group and immediately deleted his message. Then I posted an updated, from within the system, so to let people know what was going on. And to conduct a wee test...

Sure enough the message showed up in my e-inbox in short order. Showing that Yahoo had no trouble transmitting; it was having a problem on the receiving end, on the input side. Sent a follow-up, encouraging people to compose messages directly on the Yahoo server, if it was urgent.

I'll see if there's anything noted in the Moderator Central group...
