Message-ID: <619@cs.wmich.edu> Date: 9 Sep 89 19:42:24 GMT Organization: Western Michigan Univ. CS Dept., Kalamazoo, MI Lines: 14 I'm wondering why are we seeing old messages posted on 8/18, 8/17, or even as early as 8/15. They appear like new messages, while I did read them before. What happened? Is that because part of the network was partitioned for a while? I'd appreciate it if someone could tell me why.
