[comp.sys.apple] Duplicate message problem

SEWALL@UCONNVM.BITNET (04/01/88)

Since there have been several posts about the duplicate messages on
the bitnet end of the distribution.  Here's some info.  The problem
IS being looked into.  It may take a few days to trace (nasty little
duplicate messages can't be counted upon to show up when we're looking
for them - 'tis like the proverbial "watched pot that never boils").
Have patience (what more can you expect from an all volunteer labor
force).
