Technically, when we get the rejected due to checksum error, we
usually have one of two choices....

  1) post it from the moderator and say it was a checksum error
  2) send it back to the original poster telling them the listproc
     rejected it due to checksum duplication error
  3) ignore it.

Most usually, I do choice # 1.  Pretty rare for me to send it back to
the poster.  Rarely have I ignored a checksum error notice.  Though
I imagine it has happened.

Also, dealing with checksum errors isn't exactly on my high priority
list for the first thing in a morning when I have a whole bunch of things
to catch up on.  So, any checksum moderator postings are usually slow in
comming.

Seems like there were two from the weekend (to my recall) but I've
no idea whose it is (except I do know it isn't Bro. Henry Bunch's)
and what particular thread.

I know what you mean.... and I understand.
