Hi, List,

    I have no idea why a few people are receiving
six copies of Steve's ad, but I can tell you that
I received only one. If he had SENT six copies,
we ALL would have gotten six copies, or no copies,
if things were screwed up.
    So before we have a 31-message thread on The
Six Copies, I'm pretty sure he didn't send six
copies to the List, OK?
    It does happen "spontaneously" sometimes. There
is a particular virus that does this, but it been so
long since I was infested with it that I forget its
name. I would "receive" multiple copies of an email
and message the "sender," why are you sending all
these copies? and discover that they weren't!
    In my case, the virus was in my machine, that
is, the computer receiving the multiple copies, so
those who are "receiving" multiple copies might want
to check their perimeter defenses, so to speak...
    If you're foolish enough to use Outlook Express,
it won't do any good, but you should check anyway.
