People and their posts...
I've noticed that certain people, when they post, end up showing up 2 to 3
times in a row, with in a few minutes. Isn't their a virus that does that? Carol In WI |

Most likely their ISP is having a hiccup.

Carol In WI Occasional Net Lag is one of the causes. I don't know the right terminology to say it properly, but in essence, as messages pass through the hubs they are received in one side and sent back out the other. From what I understand, if they happen to hit two hubs at exactly the same split second (rare) a duplicate with a different identifier could end up being propagated. But the common cause is from the originating server not getting an echo back that the post was received, thinking the original packet collided with another and was lost, it generates a new one with a different identifier. Then there is human error to consider also! Many of us are in the habit of 'double clicking' and some newsreaders can actually pick up on that double click and send the same message twice or send a blank message as the second post. And some ISP's get the hiccups!G. TTUL Gary |
