Great news! It took me about a month to get my first replies - I'm in the UK so it's about 5-6 days to get there, a few days to sit around in the postroom, say a few days for them to write back, and then another 5-6 days to get back to me...

Ahhh, I remember those first couple of months - anxiously waiting for the postmant to arrive to bring me mail...hang on, nothing has changed in that respect! lol
