I must be missing something. Peter apparently sent out two messages regarding the SkyDome fest today. The first one didn't make it, and the second traveled this route from ontmoh to tmsoft (two systems that talk directly to each other) >Path: tmsoft!mnetor!philmtl!uunet!clyde.concordia.ca!jarvis.csri.toronto.edu!utgpu!attcan!ontmoh!peter >From: peter@ontmoh.UUCP (Peter Renzland) >Newsgroups: can.usrgroup,comp.org.usrgroup >Subject: Re: UniDome/89 -- Toronto SkyDome, 13 Dec 17:00 R.S.V.P. >Message-ID: <629484550.26970@ontmoh.UUCP> >Date: 12 Dec 89 16:49:10 GMT >Distribution: can >Organization: Ontario Ministry of Health -- Decision Support, Toronto, Canada >To: unix-unanimous@moore.UUCP >Status: RO I get the feeling I wouldn't have seen this either had it not been cross-posted. Good thing the American sites don't check their Distribution: lines :-) So, does anyone have an idea why a message posted by Peter, propogated through UofT and attcan, didn't make its way to mnetor until it had been to Montreal, uunet, and back to Montreal first? It certainly didn't get here from attcan.

I've sent you mail before and I'm pretty sure you didn't recieve it. I'll post this to the UU mailing list becuase that seems to be a fairly safe bet. -- "Knowledge once gained casts a faint light beyond it's own immediate boundaries" - J.B.S. Haldane Eisen D.

I would not be at all surprised that this path be better than a direct path within Toronto. The last time I sent a sendsys out, I got most replies the day after the sendsys, many two and three days later, and things only stopped after a full 7 days. The uunet-concordia-jarvis-gpu part probably took less than a minute. uunet accepts *everything* (they even carry tor.test! and australian newsgroups). The loop through uunet will likely go away when mcgill-vision and iros1 (U de Montreal) start speaking NNTP to clyde (they both talk to philmtl).
