Triple posts?

Dunno, but it's bigger than just my (or your) local server.


I've been tempted to reply ..."read back correct" a few times.

through the post, in my r.a.piloting newsgroup tree. Odd)

I guess it's only funny if Hai had left his duplicate post in.... It's
not so funny anymore... :-))

Silly me, I thought that this was about cross-posting. Never experienced a
multiple post. OTOH, as someone who visits .ifr, .piloting, and .student
every day, it bugs me when I see the same message in all three threads. I'm
sure that there must be some advantage to doing this, but I can't figure out
what it is.

Anyone else seeing multiple posts?

Another interesting thing -- posts I sent using GoogleGroups from two days
ago are now showing up!

As long as the posts are cross-posted correctly (and generally they have
been), then once you've marked as read the post in one newsgroup, it should
be marked as read in the others. As long as you're using the "next unread
message" to move from one new post to the next, the same post appearing
multiple times shouldn't impede your progress.

Not that most of the cross-posting is justified, just that there are ways to
minimize the impact.

System was (down/on the glitch) for a few days and some people, such as
myself, clicked send and didn't see the messages come up, so clicked
send again and again. Now the system shows the posts. :^)

Agreed 100%.

Yes, I saw a little of that also. I thought it was just you... :-)

I could not believe my eyes when I saw that Google had double posted
my reply on the very subject. I hit the delete button pretty quick but
it was there long enough for you to see. Yes, it was pretty funny.

Google Groups had some problems over the last few days.

In some of the newsgroups I follow, there have been the same complaints
from other Google newsgroup users.

That's the way it used to work for me in far-off times. It doesn't work that way
now. I'm using Thunderbird, so, if there's a setting I should make to accomplish
this, I'm all ears (or eyes, as the case may be).
