I've been so tied up with work, I have not always been able to tend to
matters of list housekeeping, and wanted to pass along a small bit of
information.

Although I continue to keep "bananafish" and a handful of other lists
running, I no longer manage ALL the lists here; there's a department 
now that is responsible for that.  I still get involved as needed (if
there's a big problem), but that's rare, since the underlying list
service is very well-constructed.  8-)

However, someone "improved" the configuration recently and accidentally
modified one of the rules by which duplicate messages are identified.
This resulted in having legitimate messages rejected as if they had
already been sent.  

I fixed this error, and a few moments ago forwarded a message from
Scottie, with the title "here's what he meant"; it was one of the 
bounced messages that had been erroneously flagged as a duplicate.

If you've recently sent a message in but have not seen it appear on the
list, please re-transmit it, and it should go out cleanly now.

Sorry for this lapse in service.  It only affected a tiny portion of 
the traffic, but if your was one such message that was affected, this 
is your chance to send it along again.

Cheers to everyone!
