I just received Dave's posting twice, as the first duplicate I have seen
(but the second instance had been processed twice). I seem to recall from
similar cases that the problem is often one of somebody having set up an
echo server without giving the necessary infiormation. This need not affect
everybody. A ghost server could also, I believe, cause delays on the way to
the list, although I find it hard to see how it could do both in the same
time ... but then again, I am not a computer expert. The worst case I
remember was one where we got everything four times for almost a week.
Computers are often a good cure for boredom ...
