Kudos to Larry for making me check my dictionary. :-) Ironically, it's
not even there (or in my Word97 spell-check) The closest word listed is
equanimity, (composure) but I can extrapolate from there.

Both of you have valid points, although I would say Larry has the
more logical position. Perhaps we could have a standard e-mail
header that everyone would use IF they chose to send an e-mail copy
of their posting. There's too many postings for most people to read
them all, but duplicates - with no indication they're duplicates - make
so sense, cause confusion, and waste people's time.
I propose that we all follow the following as common courtesy.
When sending an e-mail that is exactly or essentially a duplicate,
include "LUGNET COPY" in the subject line and/or make it the first
line of the e-mail text.
Todd: (or others?) Feel free to override or improve this suggestion.
