And a lot of the delay happens on the UUCP side.  A lot of the gateways
around are two or more hops off of the internet.  I have heard stories of
a single day transit from CA to the East coast and back, while in the same
week a message I sent took about five days.  As I was checking out the
header, I noticed that it sat at a UUCP site for a few days.  Probably
a link went down or something.  

I am going to be testing the WWCP gateway software out here in the SF
Bay Area as soon as I get a node number from WWIVnet.  As of now though,
it seems like the quickest gateway for this area (CA) is the Alaska site.
