Sorry, that did sound a bit like a flame, didn't it?  What I should have said
was:

When sending a program to the c.b.i.p. moderator for posting, could an
extract of the revision history please be included in the description?

This should apply whether the posting is a repeat or not; if it has a 
history, I might have gotten an earlier version from a different source.
