- Sounds like:
-
- ----------------------------------------- generic symptom START
- If your active file contains:
-
- alt.fan.warlord 0000010291 09190 y
- alt.flame.gigantic.sigs 0000000223 00224 =alt.fan.warlord
-
- and someone crossposts to alt.fan.warlord,alt.flame.gigantic.sigs the
- message will appear twice, in alt.fan.warlord. Good newsreaders will
- still only show you the message once. This is a low-priority problem
- and someday code will be added to C news to fix it... but don't hold
- your breath.

- ----------------------------------------- generic symptom END
