So y'all know those letters some agencies will e-mail you like two minutes after you send in your query saying, "Hey, we got your query and if you don't hear from us within, blah, blah, blah" right? Well, like I said, you get them about two minutes after you send the query. I got one four hours later. Does this strike anyone else as odd? Then again, it was on a Saturday.....

I'm just confused. :e2shrug:

Sounds to me like either 1. It's an automated system and something was running slow. (While email is often instant, it's not always the case.) or 2. someone wasn't watching the email real close on Saturday (can ya blame 'em? =)

I wouldn't read much... well, personally, I wouldn't read anything into it. It's an auto-reply and it's a nice confirmation that your email arrived. Move along.

Things get lost and delayed in the ether all the time. I agree with Clair, it was just a delay due to technology.
