Sometime over the weekend, it seems that site 'hpitg' shipped
everything in its spool back out to the net, 10-20 Mbytes
worth.  You can recognize these articles on your machine by
their "Path:" headers, which have the form

   Path: ...!hpitg!site!user@site

Normally, Path headers have no @'s in them, and "site" can be
any site on the net.

Fortunately, the full 20 Mb won't go everywhere, because spool
directories should fill up all over the net first, and the same
message-IDs were used, so I hope some of the backbone sites keep
news around for a long time (so the old Message-IDs will still
be in the history file).  Expect a larger phone bill this month.
