I just went to download new headers and got 10-12 messages like this
one. My second try downloaded all headers on the Newsfeeds server,
rather than the new headers.
I can't tell if these messages were spoofed, or if there was some sort
of technical difficulties at NF. These are dated in Nov and are set to
expire today? This group surely has traffic. I dunno. Did anyone else
have anything similar happen on other news servers?
