Yes. I've been getting duplicate messages from Towertalk for many
weeks, or months. Sometimes the second message arrives on the heels
of the first; and sometimes it comes days later, as you've
experienced. I thought that somehow I'd gotten two subscriptions,
and inquired; but, IIRC, our listmom blamed the problem on a bug in
the list server, which he said has a mind of its own and operates
beyond the control of any human. I couldn't decide whether the
server as he described it reminded me more of HAL in _2001_, or Col.
Kurtz in _Apocalypse_Now_, but I liked both movies a lot, so I was
happy with his description. :-)
