I was wondering wehat experience other have had with th FTJAVA PBEM
game.
 
I have only started playing it just before Christmas and was getting
quick file turn arounds with the server. ie within a few minutes i was
getting replies and then the next turn file.
 
I sent	a game file out on the 30th dec and the next turn file finally
arrived in my Inbox on the 6 jan. Jon was kind enough to look into it
but that the file arrived a few days after his last email regarding it.
 
Having sent the combat round in for the last turn (finally), my friend
got his response with in a few minutes (and told me i had taken one of
his ships out) buit I am still awaiting the next file.
 
Is there any particular reason why there appears to be such along delay.
 
I even started another game on a different email to try and see if that
helped but that game file seems to be delayed as well.
 
Am I expecting to much form the system?
 
I do think it is a great game system (PBEM version here) and have
supported it but if this is the norm then i can see my interest
disappearing very quickly.
