Okay...someone explain why this missive from Eisboch, which I recall
seeing on the day he posted it has shown up AGAIN as a new post in my
newsreader.

Didn't come from me.

Are you using Thunderbird?

The reason I ask is that it seems to me that I occasionally see posts that I
swore I already read days before when using Thunderbird, but I haven't
really thought about why.

I have it set to display "Unread Messages" only and I usually mark "all
read" after each visit to the newsgroup. I wonder if it is a Thunderbird
thing.

What sometimes happens is that a newserver somewhere sees it as a new
message and it is reprocessed into the system causing it to magically
reappear days after the original post. It can also happen if a NG
server goes down and messages are in cache - they don't always do a
compare routine when the server comes back online.

And sometimes, things fall through the cracks. :)
