Besides Jim Ennis and me, there is a third list maintainer: Murphy.
If you have seen junk like:
---------------------------
+  As of Wednesday, September the 23rd of 1987, Thomas Habernoll
+<HABERNOL@DB0TUI11> has altered your distribution  options for list INFO-M2 as
+per the "SET INFO-M2 FULLHDR NOACK" command.
---------------------------
on this Arpa/Bitnet mailing list / Usenet news group, don't worry.
The connections between the Bitnet list server and the Arpa/Usenet
redistribution/gateway were not set up properly. This caused mailings
with short headers, which are ok for human readers but
a no-no for redistribution systems, because the message-id field
was missing. I assume this was the reason for some duplicates on
comp.lang.modula2. It is assumed that we now live in a perfect
world without any junk, noise, and duplicates on this list/group :-)

P.S.: If you are running a local redistribution list or some kind
of local bulletin board which is fed by either INFO-M2@UCF1VM
or INFO-M2@DB0TUI11, you should be sure to set your list subscription
to "full noack" as shown in the above quote (by means of a command
sent to LISTSERV@node, NOT to INFO-M2).
