As I understand it, there's a mailing list mirrored to newsgroup
comp.protocols.ibm.  Everything going to one goes to the other, and vice
versa.  So you see it twice.  Quit complaining ... it could look like
a mirror feedback picture, where you keep seeing smaller and smaller images
mirroring the original image ... except here, the reflected image would probably
get larger and larger as some headers grew and grew, tracing the origin of the
message!

You get used to it after a while.  Sure, it would be nice if someone could
fix the mail/usenet gateway, but that takes someone's time and effort, and
I don't see anyone volunteering.  Me included.
