  I've been noticing a lot of duplicate articles in the group
comp.sys.next.  (Actually I've noticed them in other groups too, but no
where near the extent found in comp.sys.next.)  Often in the past when
I've noticed this, I've found that the two articles had different article
IDs (most often a different number indicating that the author probably
resent the article, but sometimes the system name changed from foo.UUCP
to foo.foo-domain).  Here I have a much more interesting header:

Article 729 of comp.sys.next:

  Note that tut.cis.ohio-state.edu shows up twice.  There are several
other messages with this loop, and many of the other duplicate messages
also have tut in their path.  Could it be that tut's inews is broken?

  If not tut, maybe someone else?  Note that this is *NOT* an attack on
tut's administrators, Ohio State, etc., etc.  I know that software
breaks.  This is just a note of the problem.  I've sent a separate copy
of this to postmaster@tut.cis.ohio-state.edu, but am also posting it just
in case it's some other site.
