please explain



Please explain this. A message was posted on the teacher's workshop list
whose server is at Arizona State University. It takes only couple of
seconds for the echo to appear on my screen (I am one of the subscibers
to which it is distributed at once). The same message was posted on phys-L,
whose server is at Florida State University. Why do I have to wait many
hours before I receive the echo. I am located in New Jersey. My observation
is not limited to one occurence; not a single exception was observed since
I noticed this strange behaviour last summer.
