Did he wait anxiously for 7 days to be able to mention this in his own emails?
Bitcoin v0.1 announcment Cryptography Mail List
Block 1 time
So he pretty much started next day. In the private email with satoshi he did say he does not have time and will look at it next day.

Do you have any previous contacts? Like Satoshi had with Adam Back about the mention of the article.
I don't know much about the story, I'm learning little by little.
Yes, wrote about it yesturday: #966663
I wrote it wrong, sorry. I meant, do you know previous contacts between Hal and Satoshi, just like Adam did? I saw your post about Adam and I was hooked. I really like these stories and your posts are good because you put links and everything.
