@Gargron It reminds me of the time when information was not instantaneous...
On Mastodon, I send a postcard, I trust the latter to deliver it one of these four to those who will read it (or not!).
In short, this delay (much more a lengthening of time) is not unpleasant.

As on my island: my contractor will come by at the end of the week but has not indicated which one! But he will come!
The proof? I have been his customer for six years and he has become a friend...
