I'm wondering why are we seeing old messages posted on 8/18, 8/17, or even as early as 8/15. They appear like new messages, while I did read them before. What happened? Is that because part of the network was partitioned for a while? I'd appreciate it if someone could tell me why.

Someone---I think site `jfh001' on USENET---is pumping old messages back into the system, and since their message IDs have expired in most places, they are being propagated everywhere. Chris
