Again, this is because the poster (Shel in this case) assumed that
because they hadn't received a copy of their message, the list wasn't
working. So they sent it several times.
Guys - there is *no* guaranteed delivery time for internet email. The
probability of a message never arriving is much less than the
probability of it being delayed, and just because *you* haven't received
it doesn't mean that nobody else has.
So be patient. Please. :-)
