Since installing patch #1 to 2.11 news, our news system started sending every
article to itself.  I have mailed Rick Adams about this but, in order to get
round this, I have added the 'F' flag to the local entry in my sys file, so
that the articles just get appended to a file instead of going in and out of my
UUCP queue and giving my system unnecessary loading.  Even when this gets
fixed, I recommend that everyone leaves this flag in just in case this happens
happens to you now, or in the future.  It is a useful precaution.
