it looks like the 'hal9k' system spat back a bunch of rewritten articles,
if you look in alt.bbs.internet there's some obvious glitches. I don't
know the cause but I do remember seeing this happen periodically on various
Fido sites.
the other odd thing it does (and I dont' know if this is the off line reader
software or what) is to truncate subject lines at about half a line,
and MAKE THE SUBJECTS ALL UPPER CASE. This takes these articles out of
threads generated by thread-based readers (tin, nn) and generally
messes things up.
thanks,
