I thanked Lorraine for voicing her opinion.  I'd been sick for 2 
days, and came back too this nightmare of duplicate messages and 
non-histo messages.  This shouldn't happen.

Sure, a little non-histo patter doesn't hurt, but couldn't it wait 
until the problem of duplicate and triplicate messages had been 
resolved?  Forgive me for being such a curmudgeon, but I think this 
comes under the umbrella of common courtesy.
