wrong..I'm the only user of my system.  I have not posted and canceled an 
article for quite some time (unless by some fluke the expire deleted it before
it's 'official' expire time).  I don't think this is what is happening either.

It does this during the night when the system does all of it's automated 
polling and batching.

I just had the bug that I'd seen referenced here before where I followed up
an article and when I got to the end of the messages in that group waffle
couldn't find an article and it put my join counter to 0.  Now I wish I would
have paid attention to those earlier posts--- i dont know how to stop that.

Any other ideas about the 0 message news files?  Another point about them.
They are from UUCP and not RNEWS.
