I just think I might. When I set up I had a problem that sounded very similar to
that. What I was instructed to do was to check my NNTP.DAT. Tell him to make
sure that the list of echos comes AFTER the name of the server (oasis sometimes
gets it the wrong way round for some reason (or it did with me)) and that the
date (this is the first number after the name of the server on the same line
(there are two)) reads yesterday. Then it should stop doing that.

Hope this helps.
