13. What is the response time for a listserv reply?

That is kind of a tough one because think about sending a letter. If you send a letter to someone you are not going to receive a response back until that person reads your letter, and writes a letter in response, and mails it. And in theory you can sometimes put a letter in the mailbox and generally the next day somebody will get it, but the part you can't measure is how long it is going to take them to read it and send it back to you. So on the Internet if you send a message to a listserv, people can get it within the minute. But you are not going to get a reply back until they write up their response and send it, which could be in another minute, so within two minutes you could have a response. But generally my students, when they sent questions, received some type of response by the next day. But that varied depending on the time of the year, or if it was over a weekend or whatever.
