Well, unfortunately, it's our fault.  We went through an OS upgrade last
week, and apparently the new version of the OS didn't like older revision
data cache units.  So, we passed on 2 days worth of corrupt news.  Not
all articles have corrupt headers, the majority had the body of the article
corrupted instead.  If my downstream neighbors suddenly began to think
that people had forgotten about proper grammar, well, hope you didn't flame
anyone *too* badly!! :-)
