Yeah, I kind of like digressions. They make the list feel like one of those
all night conversations with really good friends where you start discussing
something really important, but wander all round the houses before getting
back to the point. Which, essentially, it is, I suppose. (Sorry about my
slightly wanton comma use!)

Am I the only person who logged om today to find TWO copies of EVERY post on
the list! There were about 112 mails in my inbox, and I was really excited,
thinking there had been a particularly productive thread going on in my
absence, but half of them were duplicates :-( Tim, any ideas why this is
happening? (I know that my move to this address has already caused problems
with bouncing mails, sorry!)

Love,

Lucy-Ruth
