[news.newusers.questions] Orphaned Responses

jseidman@jarthur.Claremont.EDU (James Seidman) (02/23/90)

I was just browsing through the junk newsgroup on my host, and I noticed
that a large number of the articles had the subject "Re: Orphaned
Response".  All of these messages look like they are perfectly normal,
except that they have that subject and are in junk rather than the newsgroup
listed in their header (most of which do exist at my site, so that's not the
reason why they're in junk).  Can anyone explain to me what happens to these
messages to cause this?
