Summary: the backbones did it!
Disclaimer: none


Several folks have commented on the occasional appearance in
comp.sys.ibm.pc of articles posted to comp.binaries.ibm.pc.  I
got some mail from Rhaul Dhesi over the weekend and he says he
tracked the problem down to the backbones--they all had
comp.binaries.ibm.pc aliased to comp.sys.ibm.pc!
                     ^^^^^^^
(He also said they were fixing it ASAP!)

So, articles posted to comp.binaries.ibm.pc stayed there as long
as their journey didn't take them through a backbone node.  If
it did, however, they came out of the backbone addressed to
comp.sys.ibm.pc.
