San Diego Lines: 14 ((Our outgoing news feed has been down, so I don't know if this got out. My appologies if you have seen it before.)) It seems to be a function of the fact that net.announce is the first line in your .newsrc file. My first line used to be sdnet.general, and it would happen there. When net.announce started, it became the first line (after the options line, of course), and now it happens to net.announce. It is irritating, but net.announce is so lightly traveled that it is not too bothersome. It seems to happen whenever the list of options is reordered, which causes the .newsrc file to be resorted, which leaves an extra copy of the initial line somewhere in the file. It can be fixed by getting your news wizard to put in a dummy group as the first one which never moves around. (Did somebody say "KLUDGE??")
