What I've found it is *only* posts that are placed thru his server that
are late or threaded incorrectly. Not conclusive but certainly
suspicious.


Come to think of it .... I think you might be correct. It would explain
why several people using various other servers noticed the same thing at
about the same time. I jump back and forth from Gene's to Giganews.
All of a sudden I got a whole bunch of old posts that were 2-3 days old
and already read and deleted show up again on the Giganews server.

I'd have to go back and see who the authors were and if they were posting
on Gene's server.

I've checked many headers and all that were mis-threaded or late is arriving
were from Gene's server. It's enough to convince me that there is something
haywire on his server.

I just sampled the problem posts in the unthreaded threads (is that a
phrase) and everyone is from Gene's.

Plus, I'm seeing posts returned from Gene's that have already been
read and ignored here.

I think I see the unintended result of another issue... a bit of
housekeeping I was forced to do. After being knocked offline a couple
of times by electrical storms, about 6100 messages were adjudged
corrupt by the news server. It recommended re-indexing, which I did. I
never anticipated that it would renumber the messages and then send
them "as new."

Live and learn.....



That's all?

Ok. You are forgiven.
