All - I can only take partial responsibility for the multiple "me too"
posts.  Read on if you're bored - or delete it if you're not.

When I first replied, I was hoping to reply to only the originator of
this thread.  My first mistake was that I didn't check the "To" field
when I replied and thus it was sent to the entire list.  For this I
apologize for the "me too" post to the entire list.

Second, I replied with my email set as steve at ir3w.com in my mail
client.  But I am subscribed to this list as clue at ir3w.com.  Because I
didn't change my email alias in my mail client, I got an automated reply
from the moderator saying that my reply was from someone not on the list
and that it would have to be approved by the moderator - or something to
that effect.  [At that time I thought - what the heck - let it slide -
besides, I've tried to stop a previous post to this list by contacting
the moderator but that one slid through.]  So, my second mistake was not
trying to stop the post.  Sorry about that too.

BUT, I cannot take credit for the multiple posts.  I counted six replies
in all.  I really did NOT send six "me toos" to the list.  As someone
had to approve my post from an email address that was not subscribed to
this list, perhaps they can offer an idea why my un-needed, irrelevant
"me too" post hit us each six times ...

Of course, there's always the delete button (or D in Pine) ...
