Just great! The first message I send to this mailing list and somehow multiple copies of it get posted. I honestly don't know how it happened, but I'll try to be very careful in the future and watch for anything I might have carelessly done which could have caused this. Please accept humble newbie apologies.

My guess is that someone has looped mailing list subscriptions - see the Received headers on your message for example:
Received: from uhf.wdc.net (uhf.wdc.net [198.147.74.44]) by toad.com (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id XAA15048 for <cypherpunks@toad.com>; Thu, 26 Dec 1996 23:47:01 -0800 (PST) Received: from toad.com (toad.com [140.174.2.1]) by uhf.wdc.net (8.8.4/8.6.12) with ESMTP id CAA25800 for <crypto@uhf.wireless.net>; Fri, 27 Dec 1996 02:54:13 -0500 (EST)
This gets repeated several times in some messages. Steve

That "somebody" might very well be the lying Armenian terrorist Ray Arachelian from Earthweb LLC. You can use procmail or a similar program to auto-forward all the spam with wdc.net in the Received headers to Ray's employers: jack@earthweb.com, murray@earthweb.com, and nova@earthweb.com. Cocksucker John Gilmore is a paranoid asshole. --- Dr.Dimitri Vulis KOTM Brighton Beach Boardwalk BBS, Forest Hills, N.Y.: +1-718-261-2013, 14.4Kbps
