SEARN seems to think some of my items need to be redistributed, e.g.

or thinks it has redistributed them when it hasn't (I haven't seen
the actual redistributed items, just these odd acks, but then I ain't
subbed at SEARN, switched to LSOFT when the archives were moved).

Why is this?  I mean, the stuff was already distributed to the list
once, why am I getting notices of it being distributed again, six
or so months later?  Now, someone did send a belated reply to one
of my postings from November (I hate that on my lists, if you want
to take part do so with current material, not something dead and buried,
or, if you must, do it privately, not on the list)
this morning, on the list.  Could that have triggered this?  How?

Have I missed something?       Douglas
