Indeed, time is non-linear on mailing lists. I remember having to
explain this to a physicist user a few years back (when our email system
was just starting). I finally pointed him to Lamport's famous paper on
"Time, Clocks and the Ordering of Events in Distributed Systems", which
actually says nothing about email but is a good read nonetheless. Worth
looking up.
(Yes, this is the same Lamport as the author of LaTeX.)
