This is interesting...........

I sent a reply to the LSTOWN-L list.  A few minutes later I got a response
from the list (as expected) telling me my message was successfully
distributed:

Your  message dated  Mon,  23  Oct 2000  15:23:57  +1100  with subject  "Re:
attachments= keyword" has been successfully distributed to the LSTOWN-L list
(266 recipients).

<end snip>

Exactly ten minutes later I got a second message from the list telling me
exactly the same thing.  Not a problem, I thought, L-soft's LISTSERV is just
making sure I got it.  Then I noticed that the second message had a
different number of subscribers:

I know that some people on this list and the LSTSRV-L list have alluded to
'ghost' lists when using both an email and web interface.  Could this be one
example?

Chazzozz!!
