Just to give a little more detail/confusion ... attcan was only giving utzoo
articles that hadn't gone through jarvis (ie both attcan and utzoo get copies
of articles from jarvis via utgpu), and attcan gets articles from uunet as
well. We had made this changequite a while back since at the time we were 
somewhat overloaded from getting four redundant feeds (ie utzoo,dptcdc,utgpu
all via jarvis and uunet).

When utgpu recently didn't feed some of their jarvis articles to utzoo, they
naturally didn't get them from attcan either, and that's when we all realized
that there was a problem.

We now feed everything to utzoo, even if it's an article that came via 
jarvis->utgpu so this shouldn't happen again.

Regards,
	Bob
