latency test

[Michael Eisenstadt]

Clark,

wow! I started counting when I saw it was sent
and it took less than 2 seconds. 

I am using SMTP to send and receive email as you
are doing. others using Web based email will see 
more latency because there is an extra mail server
involved for the message to have to be queued. 

so dont start persecuting ole Jimmy Billy Bobby
Bubba Strong on account of the latency.

Mike
