%%%  Kind of weird how some people might think that anyone would
%%%  post the same message over and over.   The naive flames are
%%%  much more annoying than the repetitions of the zip code
%%%  message.
%%%
%%%  I spoke with Russ Hougland here at USACERL re: the bouncing
%%%  zip codes.  He is the administrator for the grassu-list.
%%%  He was aware of the problem and was looking into
%%%  ways to deal with it.  He said we could expect more copies
%%%  before a solution was found.
%%%
%%%  To me, it looks like various "info-grass-user" gateways are
%%%  reposting the same message.  Each copy is coming from a
%%%  different info-grass-user site.  Russ thought this might 
%%%  be a good way to find out how many of those sites are out
%%%  there!
