Yes. I'm keeping an eye on it. There's definitely a numbering bug, but so
far it's just a nuisance. The message from John, #3295, was duplicated (same
content, same number). This has happened a couple of times before in the
past six months. If it becomes more annoying, we can try to get the
attention of the google techies. The fact that the message was blank (except
for a quotation from a previous message) was a coincidence, and just as you
suggest, I think it was just "finger-trouble".

The other message from Gary did not duplicate to the rest of the list, so I
think the explanation here is simple: Gary sent you a copy off-list. In
fact, the absence of a fresh message number for me is a quick reminder that
I'm looking at an off-list message.

Could there be other numbering bugs? Yes. Message numbering is rather rarely
used in these groups, so there are not many people exposed to whatever
problems there may be.

Please, all of you, feel free to email me off-list if you have any other
concerns or questions on this topic.
