Apparently, two articles originating on site "microsoft" are causing some measure of havok with my news system and at least one of my down-stream sites. One of them was in sci.space.shuttle with a title something like "Go for throttle up!". What irony. It throttled up my news system to the tune of some 2500 copies. A more dangerous one was in misc.test. This one had something like 4000 copies. Between the two, my inodes got wiped out, so who knows how much news is missing. More important, though, is that anyone who runs one of those "test group reflectors" should TURN IT OFF QUICK. I managed to save some of my downstream sites from most of the crud. I will be nuking misc.test for a while, and keeping an eye on sci.space.shuttle. Good luck, all! Grrrrrrrrr. -- Ron Heiby usenet@mcdchg.UUCP Moderator: comp.newprod & comp.unix
