OK, is anyone else getting "re-posts" a lot lately? For example, someone
will start a thread that generates a few replies, which also get a reply
or three. Then a few days later my server RE-shows the original post --
still showing the true posting /date/, however. Some follow-ups then
reappear in the next days, just as before.

I'm getting this in all three groups I read, and it's happened before (but
not for quite a long time). Just wondering if it's a Usenet thing, a
server thing, my computer thing, or...???

Any clues appreciated...

I think it's your server. I don't seem to notice this on my systems.
