Evolution is a fact, not a theory. Any argument is about the details
only. Sigh.

It's a result of our fearless listowner's change to the way the list
programme handles our posts. It results in many mailers sending a copy

something about this but they forget; it's not a deliberate decision
on their part. I've complained often to Bill about this. Sigh.
