Re: LOGO-L> address problem

["John St. Clair" <jstclair@cyberg8t.com>]

Bill,

Erica is the GSN staff person who takes care of the GSN newsgroups and
listservs, including logo-l.  I reported to her the problem of some logo-l
messages not showing up on comp.lang.logo.  She installed herself as the
moderator of logo-l for 2 days to monitor the path of the logo-l messages.
I suspect that she accidently deleted the sender address info on your
message and her name was put in place of yours.  I doubt it will happen
again.  Sorry for the confusion.

BTW, after investigating the flow of logo-l messages to comp.lang.logo, she
discovered that seems to be a delay of some messages on their way from
logo-l to comp.lang.logo which either occurs at Berkeley or the usenet.  I
have noticed in the past that some messages from logo-l show up on
comp.lang.logo a week or 2 later.
