Not to confuse matters here.

There *is* a completely separate issue involving some site (tropix?)
reposting hideously old articles with munged dates and times so they
don't match history.  That was not the original complaint in this
thread as far as I can tell.

The only cure for the (tropix?) thing is to lengthen your history
retention period.

The phenomenon under discussion here supposedly involves rapidly
duplicated articles.  Inews should catch those, period.
