Here at Pro-GSPlus, we keep getting MULTIPLE copies of the same message
everyday here on the net.  I was wondering if this is just local to us or if
everyone is experiencing this problem.

What actually happens, is, after about every third or fourth message, there
will be two or more of a week old message.  For the past few days, about 25%
of all the net mail, is one message from someone talking about the Everex
customer support.  I'm pretty sure that this person didn't post it this many
times.  Also, after the original posting, there were two other messages
immediately following it.  One was a reply to the Flea Market at MIT and
another was a for-sale add for a ][+.  So after everytime that Everex message
was displayed (twice every time, I might add), there were a couple copies of
the MIT message, then one copy of the for-sale add.  Today, luckily, the MIT
message and the for-sale messages haven't been reposted, but that Everex
message is still here.  I must have seen it at least 10 times while reading
the last days posts.  This has been going on for about three weeks.  After one
message finally stops from being recopied into the net, a new one will take
its place for about a week or two.  Diz (our sysop) said it could be a problem
with either our software or the software from the guy we get our mail from (in
Texas).
