It is not the first time that articles have to go through philmtl to get out
of Toronto and then come back.  I would not be at all surprised that this path
be better than a direct path within Toronto.  The last time I sent a sendsys
out, I got most replies the day after the sendsys, many two and three days
later, and things only stopped after a full 7 days.

The uunet-concordia-jarvis-gpu part probably took less than a minute.  uunet
accepts *everything* (they even carry tor.test! and australian newsgroups).
The loop through uunet will likely go away when mcgill-vision and iros1 (U de
Montreal) start speaking NNTP to clyde (they both talk to philmtl).
