  That's the same order I received them in also.

Here's how they break down:

  The server received Adam's reply at 11:49 and sent it to the list at 11:55.
  Bill's message was received at 12:25 and sent to the list at 12:41
  My reply was received at 12:14 and sent to the list at 12:43
  Your reply was received at 11:59 and sent to the list at 12:46.

  So, we both received the messages in the order they were sent
from the list server out to the list in general, but that doesn't
appear to be the order that people actually sent them and that
the list server received them in... I'll have to look into this a
bit further. It may just be that the delays are being caused
because mailing list mail is considered low priority, so certain
messages might be getting put on the back burner as other mail
comes through.
