In the case of the Rosen piece, almost certainly a broken user.  I got
both of those here too.  It's just luser spoor.  Note that one header
had an Organization: line and the other didn't.

I do not believe there is a plague of dupes.  Any site with more than
one feed which is seeing dupes has something broken in history.  If
someone is corrupting Message IDs via modem noise or something, then
there could be a problem of course.
