I will formally contact American University to try and get us completely
severed from their gateway.  Joe Geiser is still having trouble getting
his gateway to post bi-directionally, but I'll have faith he'll get it
going eventually, or if not, better no news-to-list postings than
duplicate news-to-list postings.

As mentioned before, these are "stale" postings.  Listserv can detect
duplicates via a checksum approach, but it only maintains the checksum
"cache" for 48 hours (I think), thus the really stale stuff gets
reposted.  It figures as soon as I turn off moderation, something like
this happens :-(

Meanwhile, readers of the newsgroup may want to direct their postings
and replies to the list and not the newsgroup, if you want your messages
to appear on the list!
