I've already been in contact with the two gentlemen, and as I
mentioned in a followup a few days ago, I am looking for a replacement
for the A news that's running under PWB/UNIX on one of these machines.

It's only been mentioned a couple times, mostly implicitly (by people
posting diffs of duplicate articles) rather than explicitly (as you're
doing).  Also, unless you have 3 good newsfeeds you're probably missing
articles; one of our feeds recently folded, and before we got another
hookup to a major site the number of incoming articles (including
duplicates) went down by 66%.  In any case, there's no need to "make a
stink".  Do not flood rna, n44a, and wjh12 with mail.  People know
about the problem and it's being worked on.
