To whoever is in charge out there:

Last Friday (27 Aug 2010) I posted a reply to a thread, which went 
through just fine.  Then I got two more replies as follows:

"Your message  is being returned to  you unprocessed because 
it  appears to have
already been distributed to the EPRIME  list. That is, a message with identical
text (but  possibly with different  mail headers) has  been posted to  the list
recently, either by you  or by someone else. If you have  reason to resend this
message to the list (for instance because  you have been notified of a hardware
failure with loss  of data), please alter  the text of the message  in some way
and resend it to  the list. Altering the "Subject:" line  or adding blank lines
at the top or bottom of the  message is not sufficient. Instead, you should add
a sentence or two at the top explaining why you are resending the message. This
explanation will help the other subscribers understand why they are getting two
copies of the same message."

Well, I don't know what tripped that, but OK, my post went 
through.  Then today I wrote a complete reply to Eli in the "joystick 
in e-prime 2.0" thread.  This time I got three "Rejected posting" 
replies, and my post did *not* make it to the thread (as confirmed by 
looking at the E-Prime Google Groups web page).  I do not know if the 
problem lies with my e-mail server or with the Google Group (and I do 
not even know yet if this post will make it), but this does not 
happen with any other outgoing e-mail so I thought someone there 
ought to know.  Until this gets cleared up I cannot help anybody else 
out on the Group.

Thanks for anything you can do,
