The scariest part being sometimes you don't get the emails even days late. (That happened to me a couple of weeks ago; fortunately the comment was on a post I'd made and I saw it when I was answering some other comments -- but it never, ever showed up in my email at all. And I was watching for it, worried and suspicious of LJ.)

Aiiiy. Worrisome, all of it. Hope your lag-time gets fixed soon.
