For the past few weeks, we have been receiving occasional duplicate articles: ie a pair of articles will arrive with the same text, but slightly different Path and Message-ID. Does anyone know why this is happening? A typical pair of articles follows Path: servax0!ukc!mcvax!uunet!cs.utexas.edu!csd4.csd.uwm.edu!bionet!apple!oliveb!mintaka!daemon From: sra@lcs.mit.edu (Rob Austein) Newsgroups: rec.music.folk Subject: Re: Whatever became of Tom Lehrer Message-ID: <SRA.89Aug15155926@mintaka.lcs.mit.edu> Date: 15 Aug 89 19:59:29 GMT References: <882@umecs.cs.umu.se> Sender: daemon@mintaka.lcs.mit.edu (Lucifer Maleficius) Organization: ITS Preservation Society Lines: 9 In-reply-to: roland@umecs.cs.umu.se's message of 15 Aug 89 07:40:08 GMT You may recall the song about Werner von Braun, from "That Was The Year That Was." Well, von Braun succesfully sued Lehrer for slander. One of the terms of the judgement was some kind of attachment on Lehrer's future earnings as a songwriter/performer, to be paid to von Braun, which Lehrer is apparently (and understandably) not terribly interested in paying. Lehrer has not performed or recorded since then, and as far as I know is teaching at UC Santa Cruz. --Rob Austein, MIT Path: servax0!ukc!mcvax!uunet!cs.utexas.edu!csd4.csd.uwm.edu!bionet!apple!sun-barr!oliveb!mintaka!daemon From: sra@lcs.mit.edu (Rob Austein) Newsgroups: rec.music.folk Subject: Re: Whatever became of Tom Lehrer Message-ID: <SRA.89Aug15155805@mintaka.lcs.mit.edu> Date: 15 Aug 89 19:58:07 GMT References: <882@umecs.cs.umu.se> Sender: daemon@mintaka.lcs.mit.edu (Lucifer Maleficius) Organization: ITS Preservation Society Lines: 9 In-reply-to: roland@umecs.cs.umu.se's message of 15 Aug 89 07:40:08 GMT You may recall the song about Werner von Braun, from "That Was The Year That Was."
