Some idiot took it upon himself to cancel loads of articles, so
Chris Lewis reinjected them (about 25000-30000 in total) back into
the news system.

Unfortunately the delays inherent in this meant that many of the
articles had already been downloaded by people before they were
cancelled, so you got to see them twice.
