That is not the way it is done here usually. Could you please reply to
every poster ? A reason that seperate replys are favorable is that
a newsreader -well not all- can be set up in such a way that they warn
when there is a reply on a post of ones own.

No. Remy just tried to explain that it would happen after some time.

No not really. But please tell if if this happens after an hour
if only one client sent a very large message or only if
there were many clients. Could you give numbers ?

If the server does not recover after some time then this scenario
does not hold and you should look for the real reason.
