====================================

Frank is right about this; there are serious problems of message distribution 
in Nav-l or in its Webkahuna host.

The message Frank refers to hasn't got to me, yet, but (on present 
performance) it might, within the next day or so..

Nor did a message enthreaded "compass card with more than 360 degrees". That 
has got to Lu Abel, because I can read his reply, but
not (yet) to me.

There's something seriously amiss, but Dan seems reluctant to accept that, and 
prefers to blame list members and their ISPs. It
calls for
some investigation.
