I do not want to get in the middle of something I'm not involved 
with. I'm a former list elf, but haven't been on the MEG list in 
about three months. However, from my participation on MEG, I do know 
that at least one person on the list is Jewish, and I *suppose* that 
the delay that Cindy feels she suffered may've had something to do 
with the fact that the post that upset her was made at about 6pm on 
Saturday (so Cindy couldn't've sent an email to the MEG list 
complaining much before 6pm herself), and more than half the 48.5ish 
hours between that moment and the moment that she complained onlist 
were taken up by Shabbat and Yom Kippur, which is the holiest day of 
the year. 

If it were me, I wouldn't assume that I'd get a reply to something 
on a day when some of the people who ought to be part of the reply 
were incommunicado for religious reasons. It's like expecting a 
fully staffed help desk on Easter.
