[net.news] old news flooding the net

chuq@sun.uucp (Chuq Von Rospach) (01/09/86)

Egad! There were 122 messages in our junk file this morning, all of them
dumped there for being too old. Someone on the path:

    decwrl!decvax!genrad!mit-eddie!think!harvard!cmcl2!philabs!sbcs!bnl44!bnl

Has decided to resubmit a whole bunch or articles posted in mid december. If
you're running 2.0.2 or better, go clean out your junk directory. If you're
running older news (shame on you) you're SOL -- it's getting passed through
just like normal stuff. Expect a sense of deja vu, folks...

It's not looking, it's heat seeking.
