Sukie's right, and I just wanted to expand a bit on the nature of the "multiple copies" problem... If you're posting directly from your e-mail client, you may
not have noticed anything strange. However, if you're posting from the
FHL website, you have probably received the following frightening error
message:

We're Sorry... There was a problem with your request.
The page you've requested returned this error:
[p_errorhandler.c:31] Program Initialization Error

So, quite logically, you think the post didn't go through, and click the
"Back" button and try again, only to get the error again.

BUT, the thing is, the post actually did go through the first time, error
message and all! argh. So if you try a few times before giving up, there
will be a copy for each attempt waiting for a moderator's attention. It
is confusing. We're in touch with Yahoo! to try to fix this and a few
other problems we're encountering right now.

Hang in there, and thanks!
