I already posted a message about this to net.news.adm, but, for those
that don't read that group...


Uwvax had an OS conversion Thursday night.  After the conversion was complete,
I waited around for a while watching to see if everything worked.  Well,
everything did... sort of.  Unfortunately, uwvax decided to send out all
the articles it received a bunch of times with new Message-IDs.  I didn't
notice this immediately, so it stayed unfixed until 8:35 Friday morning, at
which time the problem went away all by itself (really!).  I assume it was
some protection problem, but I haven't figured out what it was.  Anyway, I'm
sorry for the added traffic.  I have sent out a bunch of "cancel"s for the
dups uwvax sent to the mod groups.

In any case, it's all better now.

Once again, sorry for the garbage.

p.s.  This was with 2.10.3 news, so you can't just blame "notes" for such
   silliness.
