Re: =20

[Brian Whatcott <betwys1@SBCGLOBAL.NET>]

Let me speculate:

This note looks like it came from me - Brian:  but it did not.
It came from a list server, which inserted my text into
a form header and stripped out attachments and graphics.

 The server in question serves many lists and may well
consist of heterogeneous systems.
That is the first possibility - variegated server systems.

Then this list is nominally moderated by Dan - and it may be,
 by his deputies.     This review method may insert a domestic,
Microsoft element into what could otherwise be unix/linux
software & hardware elements - and judging by the
general robustness, probably are.
That is the second possibility -  list moderator reviews.

I expect there are two or three other channels for text
access and line formatting too...
