A while back, I was frequently getting duplicate messages from this

Anyone else receiving duplicate messages? This is the only list on which 
it happens for me. >>

Yes.  I'm getting those duplicates, too.  I have also noticed that certain 
messages are not getting through, as well.  Typically, it will be the first 
message in a thread.  For instance, for the current SDIY thread titled "an XOR 
question", the initial message (apparently from schierld at msoe.edu) did not ever 
come through, but at least eight follow-up replies to his post did come 
through.  The fact that there are follow-up messages to an initial post that I never 
got indicates that it's not happening to everyone on the list, but just to a 
few of us unlucky ones.  This missing messages thing has happened in the past 
two years at a couple of different times, and then it cleared itself up after a 
while.  I'll admit that I'm more concerned with the missing messages than 
with the duplicates, but since they're both happening right now, one can't help 
but suspect that they are somehow related to the same bug or problem.   I 
wonder if there's anything we can to remedy this on our own?  Rick Jansen, the list 
operator, doesn't really monitor the list much, and it may be a while before 
he gets around to dealing with it.
