Just great!  The first message I send to this mailing list
and somehow multiple copies of it get posted.

I honestly don't know how it happened, but I'll try to be
very careful in the future and watch for anything I might
have carelessly done which could have caused this.

Please accept humble newbie apologies.

My guess is that someone has looped mailing list subscriptions - see the
Received headers on your message for example:

>Received: from uhf.wdc.net (uhf.wdc.net [198.147.74.44]) by toad.com 
(8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id XAA15048 for <cypherpunks@toad.com>; Thu, 26

>Received: from toad.com (toad.com [140.174.2.1]) by uhf.wdc.net
(8.8.4/8.6.12) with ESMTP id CAA25800 for <crypto@uhf.wireless.net>;

This gets repeated several times in some messages.

That "somebody" might very well be the lying Armenian terrorist Ray
Arachelian from Earthweb LLC.  You can use procmail or a similar program
to auto-forward all the spam with wdc.net in the Received headers to Ray's
employers:  jack@earthweb.com, murray@earthweb.com, and nova@earthweb.com.

Cocksucker John Gilmore is a paranoid asshole.
