To forestall lots of people posting questions wondering what is going
on: If you are seeing lots of duplicate news articles, it is probably
because root@unix.SRI.COM is reposting articles with new message-IDs.
I have sent a message to root@unix.SRI.COM saying this, so let's hope
the problem will be fixed soon.

I got mail from Susan Cole (cole@unix.sri.com), who says that the dups were the result of a one-time mistake involving a large number of articles. It is not an ongoing problem. I'm sure she'll post an explanation soon.

I did this by using recnews to repost a bunch of articles locally when (I am told) I should have use inews -p. I do apologize.

Okay, if you didn't, then who sent out 900 control message from
sri-unix cancelling sri-unix message-ids? Not that it really affects
me or anything, but now I'm curious. I thought it was you.
