Sorry for dupliate postings. I think there were some problems in the

Two things for you to learn:

(1) QUOTING!

Always quote part of the message you are following up to in order to
provide context.

(2) Do not "keep posting". There is always some propagation delay,
though google is often good at keeping it at a minimum for
itself. Post once. Then wait. If it takes longer than, say, 12-24
hours, then you might want to post again, in which case, you
should almost certainly mention that you are trying again because
your first attempt seems to have gotten lost.


that there are many duplicate messages of mine today morning. I will
erase all except for the one.

"Erasing" (which is really called "cancelling") does no
good. Cancelling a post takes longer than posting it, and follow-ups
will still remain. Even google still displays a link for a certain
amount of time after you "cancel" it.
