Re: I am confused



I get the same response to each message I submit to Physics-L.
I've learned to just ignore them.

The message to which I am replying now was
posted on Phys-L. But after posting this message
I received this from the server:

Your message is being returned to you unprocessed because it
appears to have
already been distributed to the PHYS-L list. That is, a message with
identical
text (but possibly with different mail headers) has been posted to
the list
recently, either by you or by someone else. If you have a good reason
to resend
this message to the list (for instance because you have been
notified of a
hardware failure with loss of data), please alter the text of the
message in
some way and resend it to the list. Note that altering the
"Subject:" line or
adding blank lines at the top or bottom of the message is not
sufficient; you
should instead add a sentence or two at the top explaining why
you are
resending the message, so that the other subscribers understand why
they are
getting two copies of the same message.

I am confused. I am receiving this message as a list subscriber.
Therefore my
message was processed as expected. This contradicts with what is quoted
above. This happened twice today. That is why the word REPOSTING was
added in the first line when I reposted the message.

1) Did others see my two messages?
2) Why does the server tell me that the message was not processed?

REPOSTING
Some of you might be interested in what
a journalist, Beth Daley, wrote in Boston
Globe today.

heating_up_a_cold_theory?mode=PF

It is an article about the situation in the
cold fusion field, based on her interview
with a theoretical physicist from MIT.
