[SADXA] Fwd: ARLD013 DXCC Deletion of Kingman Reef

[Jim W]

Hmmm.  Interesting.  Earlier today I was monitoring my emails in real 
time background mode and it appeared as if my ISP's email server was 
taking personal umbrage in delivering your email.  It was forwarded well 
over an hour after you sent it.

Now that I'm logged on again I see that you're among a group of several 
for whom the server slowed down its delivery.  Right now I'm getting 
stuff that have timestamps of over six hours ago. Earthlink's email 
server seems to have overcome its constipation problem.
