[news.admin] Duplicate articles from hal9000

grr@cbmvax.cbm.UUCP (George Robbins) (05/05/87)

References:


The site hal9000, which occurs in the maps only as a tributary of ncoast
has started spewing duplicate articles with new id's.  I've sent mail to
ncoast, but if anybody has a more direct connection, please pass the word.

So Far:

I think you are mistaking the machine "hal" at the CWRU School of Medicine
for the machine "hal9000" at an AT&T site.  Relevant Map data follows:

Yes, this is probably true, since the path on the articles shows them
coming through rutgers!hal9000 and rutgers happens to be in North Jersey.
When I grepped my maps for hal9000, only the ncoast connected hal9000 site
showed up and I leapt the the obvious conclusion.

Sorry about that, but at least the problem seems to have been fixed wherever
it was coming from...

Methinks that the loop may be explained.  "hal9000" == a computer (I don't
know what kind) at Webb-Stiles Co., and IS linked to ncoast.  I will send
a note to Dave Stiles telling him he needs a name change.
