I assume you mean C News; 3.0 is an entirely different news system and
is not related to C News.  Check to make sure those articles are *exact*
duplicates (in particular, do they have the same Message-ID?) -- there
have been a number of recent cases of malfunctioning software elsewhere
resulting in imperfect duplicates that look like unrelated articles to
the software.
