You know, I kind of promised myself that I wouldn't perpetuate this thread,
but I thought of another possible explanation.  Are all of the duplicate posts
from the vanagon list?  'Cause I'm also on the aircldvw list, and while I
also get duplicates, I've never noticed if maybe one was on the vanagon list
and the "duplicate" was on the aircldvw list because the author cross-
posted it.  Just (yet another) a thought.
