#N:ima:32300001:000:541 ima!root Aug 29 19:53:00 1983 Due to mysterious screwups here at ima, many extra copies of news items from site cfib have been flooding the net. Cfib actually runs notes, and sends stuff to ima as notesfiles, and ima turns them into news. Due to running out of disk space, some status files got farbled, thus the problem. I think I have fixed the problem by deleting the afflicted files, but as a result, recent articles from cfib may be sent out one (1) more time by mistake. After that, it should be OK. My apologies for the inconvenience. John Levine, ima!johnl
