[net.news] Garbling in net.announce.newusers

I cannot get this host to send mail to "cbosgd!announce! or "cbosgd!mark"
so I am trying to get the info to them via this method...

There is a garbling in the recently-posted copy of "Emily Post for
Usenet" that arrived here; I don't know if it started out that way
or got trashed in the transmission hops. The line beginning with
the number "15." arrived as shown:

15.  Here is a list of some groups that are impory everyone.  Followups and discussions

Note the long line length and the "impory" in the middle; it looks
like the word "important" got chopped along with several lines following
and the tail end glued on the truncated line.

If this got distributed this way generally, I guess a new copy would
be worth posting...
