Re: Privatization of the commons considered harmful.

[Chuck Hastings <cwh2@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Esteemed Framers,

I'm on both lists, and I haven't been getting
duplicate messages.  I use Netscape
Messenger 4.79 for email.  (I've upgraded
a couple of times;  I began with 4.5, and
then used 4.75.)  It appears to be smart enough
to filter duplicates out on its very own, if they
arrive at the same time.  There may be a
setting for that, but I've never looked.

I hope that this comment isn't misinformation.
But I've never even had to think about this
issue before, and I've been on both lists for
nearly two years now, and sometimes get
messages addressed to both lists.

Or, it could be that EarthLink's server
software is where the smarts are, which filter
out the simultaneous duplicates.  Anyone
know these answers?
