I thought that too...but even that, or re-confirming the message via e-mail
(if I'm understanding that right, haven't used it myself...it seems like a
message can be confirmed more than once...I've seen several instances where
someone confirms and posts-thinks they didn't-confirms and posts again...or
*HAVE* I seen that?) would have left a copy in it's proper order of
submission, right? Does the server clock for LUGNET not superceed a poster's
clock, anyway? Being on the web, I'm not sure. I've always posted on LUGNET
time.

Even stranger, Todd...the cancelled message from Rico Lovelace is gone
now...it was one above Suz's cancelled message when I first posted last
night. When that cancellation showed up, the repeated message was
posted...many hours later.
