Everything going to one goes to the other, and vice versa. So you see it twice. Quit complaining ... it could look like a mirror feedback picture, where you keep seeing smaller and smaller images mirroring the original image ... except here, the reflected image would probably get larger and larger as some headers grew and grew, tracing the origin of the message! You get used to it after a while. Sure, it would be nice if someone could fix the mail/usenet gateway, but that takes someone's time and effort, and I don't see anyone volunteering.

I think only messages originating on the internet side are seen twice. the Berkeley machine is the gateway and I once tried to contact someone there to see if it could be fixed (it works in other groups!), but got no response. Since this group doesn't have a lot of traffic, I just got used to it... - tom -- internet : mvac23!thomas@udel.edu or thomas%mvac23@udel.edu (home) : 4398613@mcimail.com (work) uucp : {ucbvax,mcvax,psuvax1,uunet}!udel!mvac23!thomas Location : Newark, DE, USA -- The UUCP Mailer
