A few years ago, it was noted that the anticipation prior to a big Apple event was an important part of the mystique that Mac users thrive on.

Thus it was decided that since people seem to like that anticipation so much, for any question posted to an Apple-run mailing list, the time between when you send a message, and when your message shows up on-list, is directly proportional to how important and/or interesting your message is. More interesting means a more time before it reaches the list. Less interesting and/or accidentally sending personal emails, will result in the message immediately being posted to the list.

Can somebody explain to me why this list takes so long to post a message after it's sent? It's sometimes annoying, because there are always a few answers sent to a question so this results in repetitive emails. I'm guessing its because so many lists are on apple's servers, but wasnt sure.
