Yes, but the name at the end of that posting is simply 'N. Kalia'.
The author's name is recorded in full in the list archive. For the
posting by plain 'Neil Kalia', authorship is recorded in the form of
an e-mail address. My hypothesis is that they are one and the same
person, and that that person has joined the group again under a
proper name. (I for one am wondering how to change my name at the
Yahoo group so as to punctuate it properly.) It is also plausible
that 'Robinson' has recently been added to the name.

Richard.
