[Dixielandjazz] Levinson's wayward message

[Len Nielsen]

Paul

I have been corrected by some one who has a better working knowledge of
computers than I.

One question...Are you saying that the duplicates we are receiving are
generated by the sender at the same time as the original? If so, can you
explain this to the list. It may help to cut down on this occurrence.

By the way...about blabbing Nancy's age...you are a brave man!! :)
