You may recall that I sent out an
erronous note awhile ago to the net 
stating that there were "4000" articles
in net.consumers at CSRG.  That was
because I simply took whatever was in
my .newsrc at face value.  I corrected
my .newsrc, and subsequently started
re-receiving net.consumers.  But.. Lo
and Behold, it now says 1-4000 again.
Has anybody else noticed this
behaviour?

There is no problem with net.consumers. I believe, Suk, that you
are running into the known readnews bug which occurs when you type
e- to save the last article read in the previous newsgroup. Due to
the bug, the e- mucks up the numbers for the previous group to correlate
to the group you were next reading. Why 4000? Perhaps you had been
reading net.unix-wizards or something like that.

I have been getting net.consumers with no problem.
