Well, your explanation for why the post showed up three times only showed up twice, so I guess that's an improvement. :) This is a big problem with Google Groups, which I use to post. Too often, I write my post and send it, and Google eventually comes back with a message like "There was an error in posting, try again later", only to find out that the post actually did make it out to Usenet and I didn't really need to retry. It doesn't appear that you're using Google to post, but apparently whatever method you're using suffers from the same glitch. -- Adam
