[SLA] Re: [Linganth] query about graduate schools

[Harriet Ottenheimer]

I just noticed that the reply to line for the message below gave Leanne 
Hinton's email address rather than mine.  I am not sure how this 
happened, nor which of the two linganth lists is doing this.  Most 
repliers have figured this out and replied to me anyway.  I hope whoever 
is managing the appropriate list can fix this reply-line glitch.  My 
email is mahafan at ksu.edu.

Also, for some reason, the query message was sent out a second time to 
all three lists.  I am not sure how this happened either. My computer 
was turned off when this happened.

Thanks to all who have responded so far, and apologies for the two 
glitches mentioned above (especially to Leanne!!!).
