Your message arrived here on June 3rd, whereas the header says that
you sent it on May 20th; so that is another two weeks. The 12 day
delay seems to be quite typical :-( BTW, I am using the bi-directional
gate-way to the newsgroup linux.dev.kernel and submit articles via
submit-linux-dev-kernel@ratatosk.yggdrasil.com. I switched to this
after repeatedly being unsubscribed from the list. I would really
appreciate if somebody figured out why the turn-around time is *this*
long.
