Fred,
I seem to be getting two copies of all your messages, that is, to a single
address, so that's not the problem. I guess it might be an OPE-L problem
rather than yours, as it seems to happen with some (but not most) other
OPE-lers too. (Any ideas, Gerry?) Of course Fred, your ideas are always
worth reading more than once, but ... I can do that on the archive!
Comradely,
michael
