.... or why you haven't seen the message you sent yet?


The number of duplicates due to the changeover to moderation on the
gnUSENET side was much higher than expected.

Rather then inflict dozens of copies of each message on the mailing
list members, the messages have been saved.  Some software is being
written to process the backlog in a non annoying manner.  The backlog
should be cleared in the next few days.  The number of duplicates is
tapering off as the moderation spreads to more sites on gnUSENET.

Many of the messages have already been sent to the gnUSENET side (the
transport mechanism prevents duplicate messages) though there may be a
few that are in the backlog.  They will be sent as the backlog clears.
There will be some duplicates seen on the gnUSENET side due to the poor
way some news systems submit moderated articles.  The will have subjects
like "(none)" and "Submission for gnu.*", with the actual Subject: line
in the text of the article.  If you reply to one of these, please
correct the subject line.

Info requested of gnu@prep.ai.mit.edu will also be delayed as we
recover from this.

thanx for your patience -len
