Once again, duplicate articles are popping up everywhere.  Notice the
following header:

I have to assume the point of insertion into the real world has to be at
uwvax.

Can people stop doing this sort of thing?  This header was rather
deliberately tricked up to duplicate an existing article, doing everything
needed to ensure that it got out onto the net.  Then we got 8 other copies,
each with different article-IDs.

Also, can someone explain why this has become so common in the last 6 months?
