Hello Howard:

Saw your post on "arachne-digest"  I am sending this reply to your private
email and have CC'd also to "arachne" to see if you will find it there also.
I should not have received your message because I no longer subscribe to the
arachne-digest.

There exists the possibility that by some fluke you might have become
unsubscribed for "arachne".  If this were the case, your messages would not
have arrived there.  I saw your post on arachne-digest.  There was once a
problem that occurred about two and a half months ago in which the "arachne"
list inadvertently lost almost all of its subscribers.  As a result, many of
those who were "arachne" subscribers decided to subscribe to the
"arachne-digest"

I know that "arachne-digest" is a separate list.  If you are subscribed to
only to "arachne-digest", but not to "arachne", you will not receive any
postings sent to "arachne" unless they were included also in "arachne-digest".
