According to Thomas, at 12:50 on 29 Aug 99, the word on
the street was...

> Sorry to disturb you, but i also posted the correct URL!!
> I only wonder we you did again. Not that it would somehow make me angry, it makes me
only confused...
> You know, I'm new on the list, and i only wanna know, if anybody besides me can read
my posts...
> So please!! If anybody can read this, answer me...

(I'm posting this to the list so others who have similar questions as
Thomas, but who never posted them, will get an answer as well.)

Your posts do get through, as evidenced by my reply :)

Now, there are two answers that I can think of that might help:
1) If you do not get copies of your own posts back, point a webbrowser at
http://jackpoint.org and click on the ShadowRN link. From there, you'll be
able to log in with the password the listserver sent you when you first
joined (you did save the message it sent you, right?), and you'll then get
to a screen where you can mess around with your list settings. One of them
is an option that decides whether or not you will receive your own posts
back.

2) Both Thomas and Dennis posted the correct URL to the graphic on my web
page; the reason both showed up is, most likely, that one of them sent out
his post before he read the message written by the other. This is a common
occurance with Internet mailing lists, and can be caused by delays in the
message reaching you, or by the way some people read their mail. At any
rate, it's nothing to worry about -- quite often, we get three or four
replies to a single message, and all of them say basically the same thing.
