[Phys-L] Re: server glitch

["Fayngold, Moses" <fayngold@ADM.NJIT.EDU>]

I use the NJIT server, even when I work at home. To get all my profes=
sion-related emails, Forum and Lists included, I connect to NJIT (adm=
.njit.edu). Probably  a local server must also be involved in this ca=
se, but I have dismally truncated knowledge about these things. The l=
ast glitch I wrote about (and two others of the same type, already af=
ter that), came when I worked from home.

I forgot -- do you use a local server in addition to a one "down town=
",
or do you directly connect to the internet through a tele' co, server=
?

bc, who thinks either a mail app. or a server is sending two versions=
 of
your msgs., as did his at one time.

, and I have often had the same problem. One of may latest messages t=
o the List went through, judging by the fact that I received it mysel=

 However, I also received it in two copies - one as I sent it, but th=
e other in a different format, with text rearranged in a long column =
like a poem, interrupted by signs like $ and 20, which makes it hard =
to read. What bothers me most is not so much the glitches themselves,=
 as their apparent irregularity: I use the same procedure to send the=
 messages (or do I?). The outcome, however, fluctuates wildly: someti=
mes it goes smoothly, sometimes I get a glitch. To me, it looks like =
quantum-mechanical measurement of an observable in a superposition of=
 eigenstates, rather than performance of regular classical computer.
