I have on-and-off over the years had particular trouble accessing
comp.soft-sys.math.maple form my Uniersity's servers, and even when the
group is accessible, sometimes postings, even my own posings, take a week
or so to appear. I have had no such trouble with other groups. I wonder
how that happens. During those periods of trouble, I used Google to
access the group. There is always a several-hour delay with Google
(http://groups.google.com), but it is never, in my experience, a longer
delay than that. Google is also useful when you want searchable archives
or web-based access.

The reason for this particular weirdness is explained on the page
?last_name_eval. However, please give MapleSoft credit where credit is
due: This inconsistency was corrected years ago by the LinearAlgebra
package. However, in order to support the running of user legacy code,
the old package with its idiosyncracies must remain. One supports
consistency by using the newer package.
