She has been repeatedly posting an exact same message to one of my surname lists, changing screen names and email addresses. Obviously she's gotten the idea that an address can be blocked. I've deleted nearly 50 posts for the same item, so have a good history of this seller's gyrations in my recycle bin. I looked at her ebay site and see an item from Windham Co., CT. This repeated type of spam is a very good reason for list admins to be able to monitor board posts. See her spam from these boards gatewayed to lists.

Joan, Mine were all the same account - the ONLY account I've ever used since becoming an admin and requesting Notifications. I was thinking it might have something to do with different servers? Or maximum number of boards to be notified on one email (overall, not my number of boards). I adopted quite a few boards at once one time and that is when the notices started coming in separate emails. When I got rid of the majority of them at once, I then only received Notifications on one email (well, except for the exact duplicates, butthat is a different subject :).

I received my "duplicate" notifications, as usual. I have been getting duplicates for many months now but I am afraid to report they are identical for fear they will stop entirely!! So I just delete the second one. When I had lots more boards, I used to get two notifications, each different but always covering the same group of boards. When I got rid of about 100 or more boards, I started receiving two Notifications, only they are the same. I can live with that rather than "upset the apple cart"~ Guess you are the lucky one today, Joan :-) Marilyn G. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jackie Wilson Goddard" <jaws64@comlinkusa.net> Subject: Re: [BAd] Strange abbreviated notification? > At 08:46 AM 9/21/2006, you wrote: > >>This morning I received my daily board notification and strangely >>enough it only showed ONE board and one new post on that board, and >>I know for a fact that my 87 boards had more than one new post--did >>anyone else receive an abbreviated notification today or am I the >>only lucky one? >> >>Joan >> > > > I normally get 2 board notifications---only time I get one is when > there has only been one post.

This morning I received my daily board notification and strangely enough it only showed ONE board and one new post on that board, and I know for a fact that my 87 boards had more than one new post--did anyone else receive an abbreviated notification today or am I the only lucky one? Joan

Thanks Joan. Thats what I thought to. janet
