There is an ongoing problem with netnews propagation which affects
this newsgroup -- for the benefit of readers of this newsgroup the
note from Brandon Allbery of 15 August is appended. The message ID
is <63829@uunet.UU.NET>. Some postings known to exist at other sites
are not (yet) available at IBM's Palo Alto nntp feed.


------- Forwarded Message

I just got a letter from someone asking about the sudden "reposting" of
messages from May and June.  For the benefit of those of you who haven't been
keeping up with the traffic in news.admin, I will explain.

There is a *net-wide* re-propagation of news going on for some reason.  The
various Usenet "major" site admins are attempting to track it down; in the
meantime, old messages are showing up in all newsgroups.  We'll all have to
bear with it until the "time warp" is found and eliminated.  Archivers, take
note -- beware of repeat messages.

++Brandon (sometimes I just *love* the Usenet....)
