From: Arthur Tabachneck on
Just a brief update on simultaneously posting to usenet (e.g., Google)
and the SAS-L U of G listserv. The method I proposed the other day
for simultaneously posting, via email, failed last night. Apparently
Joe is trying to correct the situation thus, as a result, pure usenet
posts (not Google interestingly) are once again being correctly routed
to the UofG listserv.

My posts were rejected as being duplicate posts.
