Why several reposts? Apparently because this newsgroup is no better or worse 
than a test newsgroup. However, if I failed to clean up the mess, that 
reflects a configuration decision on my ISP's part. Actually most NNTP 
servers are configured that way these days. (However, I can't really even 
guess what is going on in terms of cleaning things up without doing a 
somewhat tedious state reset.)

If you don't want to see "dicks" and "blowhards", then you should use a 
killfile generously<sarcasm>--and avoid mirrors. Probably also a good idea 
to avoid personal attack threads. However, in general, the newsgroups are 
full of trolls and such these days. I'm rather surprised it took you so long 
to notice.</sarcasm>

By the way, I predict that this post may not show up at first, though I 
won't repost this time, since it's apparently queuing somewhere. I'd guess 
there is some sort of problem between the primaries Zetton and Redking. 
Their secondary (smaller but long-retention) NNTP server, which apparently 
has no alias besides news2, is apparently unaffected.

If you want any technical details, you can ask nicely and hope that I 
notice--which I probably won't. However, it's likely that I'll discuss it 
with the fellow who does their English support the next time we have lunch. 
We've been discussing NNTP issues quite a bit in our last few meetings.
