    It is obvious that we can not get along and it is not my fault. I 
discovered yesterday I was getting 2 copies of every message sent to 
this list. It is not nice. When I got it figured out it is someone on 
this list who is doing it to ME, I decided to find out, how hard is this 
to do? In short order I discovered you can cause this to happen if your 
using Thunderbird.

    As for get along I am in favor of that. I only react when I have 
been fouled. And many of the so-called experts here get great pleasure 
from hurting me.
