I just logged in and saw ten copies of a message from the same user.
This has got to be a record.  Please refrain from posting multiple
copies of messages whenever possible.  Due to the current bboard
distribution scheme to sites outside of BIONET (which should soon be
upgraded) many people received all of these copies in their mail file.
As use of the bboards increases we will eventually have to moderate
messages.  We are trying to avoid the imposition of this kind of
"censorship" for as long as possible but we need the cooperation of
everyone if we are to succeed in this.  I have removed the additional
copies on BIONET but unfortunately cannot retrieve those that have
gone out over the net.
