But I got Zane's reply YESTERDAY evening and Lars' reply this morning.  Other times they all come in the proper order, but quite often, they don't.  Is it my email service - Fastmail?

I was curious because it doesn't seem to happen on any of my other lists (Yahoo groups, IO Groups, Google Groups and more) but it seemed to start here when I switched email provider from Yahoo To Fastmail so I was curious if it was FastMail or if something had changed in the SimH list when I re-subscribed.  As I recall, I wasn't able to just change my email address, I had to quit and re-sign up.
