Why are your, Eric Brunner-Williams's,  Robert Elz's, and my messages

A large mailing list (such as ietf(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org) is not a FIFO.  
Delivery of
one message may get blocked while a later message gets delivered (and in
this instance to the web archive) first.

In this instance, given the extremely short time span between the messages
(please note carefully the GMT offset of the messages in question), it
should not be perceived as a problem.  If you were referring to
non-arrival of messages after a significant amount of time (a day or more,
again carefully noting the GMT offsets), then that is a problem.
