Paul:

I think some messages do get repeated.  As far as I can tell (and I know 
that I too have been guilty of this) this is as as a result of some 
problems at world.std.com which have made the list very slow at times; 
therefore it is not immediately obvious that the original post has got 
through, and the poster re-posts to make sure that his or her message 
makes it.

I think it is also possible that such misunderstandings can be generated 
by local (rather than list-wide) difficulties.

I hope that these problems on world will be resolved soon; in the 
meantime, members of the list should exercise patience.
