No, I've been getting them too.  Last night I even got a message from this
listserver saying that I had posted a previous message just like the one I
had just tried to post.  Obviously, I hadn't just tried to post a
duplicate message.

It seems like every couple of months this listserver becomes forgetful and
starts reposting messages???
