[news.groups] Site reposting articles

rang@cs.wisc.edu (Anton Rang) (12/19/89)

A bunch of duplicate articles in various groups are starting to come
in here.  They appear to have been reposted in Japan.  A typical
header:

This news was reposted by me with a mistake.

I am a staff at TIT (in Japan). We were handling unprocessed news in
our site and reposted six of those news with the command 'recnews'. 
(This command was not proper for our purpose, we notice now.)
The message id of your news was rewritten with my own message id by 
the default mail system and we forgot to specify the Distribution part, 
in addition. Your news therefore was broadcasted in the world. I am 
awfully sorry for having done such a poor operation.

Yours sincerely.
