That's wierd....  If so, there must be ways to tweak this, because when
I reposted the whole 110 or so backed up messages from Best, they got
to Georgia Tech (gatech.edu) and demon.co.uk within minutes.  And boy
did I hear about it.... <wry grin>

By the way, whatever you did to fix the propogation problem seems to 
have worked.  Unfortunately it also released all of the same posts
onto an unsuspecting 'Net -- about three copies of each one of over
a hundred posts. <wry grin>  Fortunately most of it got caught by
spew detectors and cancelled.
