[Dixonary] Re: Email echo enabled

> Or will dealing here be reflected in tapcis.com? You can post in tapcis.com, or in the Yahoo group, or send email to the list <coryphaeus (AT) yahoogroups (DOT) com>. You only need to do one of these. (This wasn't initially true this round but that was because the echo wasn't switched on yet.) If you post in tapcis.com, that posting will be reflected in Yahoo, but only after the hourly pass. Dealers will need to take this into account when closing polls. Suppose a dealer chooses to post in the Yahoo group. If the deadline is 11pm and the dealer wants to have the results tabulated and posted by 11:10pm, then he/she will need to check on tapcis.com that there aren't vote messages there waiting to be echoed at 11:15. If a dealer chooses to post on tapcis.com, or via email, the same sort of caution is required. That is because some members report longish delays between posting a message in Yahoo and having it turn up in their mailbox. (For me the delay has always been of the order of a minute, but some messages here talk about hours.) As a rule of thumb, until we can get a handle on it, -- if dealing on the Yahoo group, your actual cutoff is the first quarter hour following the deadline (or else check on tapcis.com for last-minute messages), and -- if dealing on tapcis.com or via email, you can't determine a safe actual cutoff, because we don't know how long the delay can be, so check on Yahoo for last-minute messages.
