I suspect this didn't get posted (since I believe that Jeff is not a member of math-fun and that non-members of math-fun can't post), so I'm forwarding it.

This was already posted on math-fun, and JS is replying to other math-fun posts. However, the return address on his appears to be his own, instead of math-fun; hence our replies to his posts are NOT arriving at the remainder of the list. Until this gets fixed, check and insert math-fun address into your own posts! WFL
For better or worse I use my Mac's "Mail" program, and just by hitting "Reply" (not "Reply All") in response to Jeff's posts, the e-mail is addressed to both his address and math-fun. —Dan

I think the problem may be that JS is including some members' explicitly in his To: address list. Presumably the math-fun server is detecting the duplication, then suppressing its own post to those addresses. The addressees then become accidently censored ... Heaven preserve us from intelligent machines --- or should that be from human programmers? WFL On 1/22/17, Dan Asimov <asimov@msri.org> wrote:
