Last December I did a sendsys to test the mi distribution.  At that time
there were 107 replies, with round trip time as follows:

  Post made:	Tue Dec 10 08:57:00 1991
  First reply:	Tue Dec 10 08:59:12 1991 (yes, 2 minutes 12 seconds)
  First hour:	36 replies
  Hour 2:	41 replies
  Hour 4:	53 replies
  Hour 8:	62 replies
  Day 1:	83 replies
  Day 2:	92 replies

As best I could determine all the sites replying were either direct
recipients of the mi distribution, or did mutual "all" with their
neighbors.  The control posting was made to a mi group, so sites which
do not receive the mi heirarchy did not receive the message.

FYI, mi gets to Palo Alto because there's an ex-Michigan person working
at Xerox PARC.  Hi Mark!
