Let me try to clear up what happened.  Moscom is a new site (so new
they haven't yet had time to post the newsite announcement).  We sent
them news 2.10.1 and they were quickly up and running.  They tried to
do something that seemed straight forward (add `junk'ed newsgroups to
the active file and resubmit the article to have it attached to the
correct groups).  However, being novices (as we all were once) they did
it in a strange way that caused the article to be duplicated.  I caught
this all too late to stop it here at RIT.  They're chagrined, I'm
sorry, and now that we know what happened, it won't be repeated.
However, several worthies got to see themselves in print TWICE!  ;-)
