  Well, the way I see it, it's normal, and the other lists, being for
non-engineering "types", aren't.  (And the PIClist was probably the
first to which I ever subscribed!)

  Knowing a copy of what I send is in my "sent" folder, it seems to me
wasteful to get another copy back from the list.  Nevertheless, many
others violently disagree with this pragmatism and like to receive a
copy for reassurance, to file in their PICList folder, or is it just to
see themselves "in print"?

  The reassurance is not necessary.  E-mail is *very* reliable - if it
isn't, you really need to change your ISP.  I've never had evidence of
my messages failing to arrive (but then...).

  Oh dear.  Well, the fact that you have received *at least* two answers
so far to this posting indicates you are getting to the list, but I
can't find any of your previous postings.  I must presume I've deleted
them as I didn't feel I was in a position to answer them.  Presumably,
everyone else felt the same.  (Yes, quite a number subsequently found in
the Trash.)

  Never mind, try again with the questions, include more detail of what
you are trying to do.  You sometimes have to get people interested in
your project before they'll say "I like that idea" and jump in.

  If you *really really*  are desperate for the extra e-mail, then yes,
send a message to the list*SERVER* with  SET PICLIST REPRO  in the body
(no title).
