Obviously this doesn't apply if you are just posting to the list and  
waiting to receive your message back, but part of the gateway  
operation (the script that mirrors messages between newsgroup and  
mailing list) is a cron job triggered every five minutes.  So, if you  
post to the newsgroup side and it takes five minutes or more to hit  
the mailing list, this would be expected behavior.
