On the Bolton server it would usually take hours before my posts came
back to me. Sometimes upwards of 5 or 6. I think the quickest turnaround
time was about an hour.
This one...*quite* a bit faster (I noticed this on the B5Wars mailing
list,
too, back when I was on it). Under an hour, under half an hour,
sometimes
even faster (then again, I'm working with small number statistics since
I
don't post too often; don't want to bore y'all silly...)
