Well, *that's* not the problem. I've set my filters to explicitly allow
posts from Martians, spiders, human beings, and David Bowie, even if
they've been mingling with each other.
I certainly don't have any filters set to block Patrick J's posts on one
server but not from the other. And I know it's server-side because I can
use OE rather than TB with the same results.
