I didn't even look, because I don't think it matters.  The point is not how
you or I get the feed, but that the feed can be delayed, and just because
one person has seen responses to a post doesn't mean that everybody else
has.

No, I didn't mention that I also use leafnode, on a one-hour cycle.  That's
not a huge issue, but what I _should_ do is figure out a way to push the
outgoing posts immediately before hibernation, because I routinely suspend
the machine while there are still messages to send.  If it's late at night,
the response could end up delayed much more than 5 hours.
