 out what the hell happened to this article!!]:

Remember the article I posted to soc.singles (the Jerk test results for me)
on May 25 that had 3 (count 'em, three) copies of the article quoted
somehow, and everybody got pissed?  Remember how I said I couldn't
figure out how it had happened since I had trimmed the thing
drastically in the editor?  Well, it just now (June 6) arrived at
MY OWN SITE; and check out the funky path it used and the weird
"Path:" line!! --

Note it originate from clyde (the posting machine of my clustered group),
but then made its way back into clyde from convex much later.  Also, it
shows the "Date:" as the correct date of when clyde might have originally
posted it, not the date it really arrived back here.

Confused,
