Incoming feedback crossed in mail with that outgoing 2nd mail,
when I next connected to the net.

Some may have the luxury of cheap permanent Internet connection.
Others do not. Easier to encourage posters to state where in
world, rather than need all who may be interested, to note down
to do a "whois the domain" when next on line.
Realise:
- Some do not read mail on line;
- Some do not have email to desk paid by an employer;
- Some do not have cheap/ continuous connection at home;
- Some pay to read mail batched & downloaded perhaps once a day,
& outgoing queued mail can overlap in transit with incoming.
- Some countries on this _World_ _Wide_ list get relayed at different
speeds, by different intermediate relays, with variable delay.
- The World is Not one time zone, we read & respond at different times.
This is an _International_ list. Criticism based on USA national
presumptions such as { timezone, geography, or cheap/ continuous net
availability etc } is blinkered thinking.
