   It may in fact be a duplicate effort in the case of the SYNCHRONET echo, but it   
   is not the only newsgroup that I offer to those that aren't running a system   
   with a built-in newsgroup system. As I mentioned before I'm certainly not   
   trying to step on anyone's (Digitalman) toes by offering it as an echo. I   
   believe, as I said before, that I've eliminated the unfortunate duplicate   
   message posting problem so as NOT annoy others in the actual newsgroup.   
      
   Best regards,   
   Marc   
      
   .. I was going to tell you a UDP joke, but I'm not sure you would get it.
