Hidden Mails on the list

[Allison & Jim Baensch]

Hi All,
What I notice on this and the Maremma Sheepdog list is that posts  
sometimes arrive out of order.
I quite often have the list members' answers for more than a day  
before the question arrives.

Perhaps the Email Elves take the questions to a favourite rock  
somewhere, to sit and contemplate them.
Then they get called to lunch and leave the question sitting beside  
the rock.
I haven't seen them do it but it's the sort of thing I might do as an  
elf.
Some of your list questions and comments inspire great wonderment.
And momentary forgetfulness is an official symptom of wonderment.
If it wasn't before it is now - I declare it so.

Perhaps this disjunction of questions happens only on wonderful lists  
that employ Email Elves with particular talents?
I reckon that both Maremmas and Open Spacers are capable of much wonder.
Maremmas can often be seen lying near their charges in wonderful,  
dreamy contemplation until called to vociferous defensive action.
Open Space Technologists can wonder it too, like when topics are  
called for once a space has been opened, or when they've alighted as  
butterflies.

Cheery greetings and thanks for some mighty wonderful messages  
through this list,
Allison.
