I wonder if something is going amiss with Nav-L messages. Of three nearly-identical copies of a posting, (original and two resends) I received back only the second resend. Chuck Taylor didn't get the original. Joel Jacobs has complained his postings haven't got through, and I have received only copies of his message via other channels. And yet, others tell me they have received all three of my messages, so apologies to those who have received the same stuff again and again. I had speculated that perhaps Nav-L was spuriously filtering out valid input messages, bur it seems that they may all be getting through, from what others tell me. I had wondered if my own input filtering was at fault, but the fact that others are also affected in a similar way leads me to suspect that somehow the dstribution of output messages from Nav-L has got very patchy. Do others suspect such problems? Does Dan have any comments to offer?
