I realize that the propogation cannot be stopped, but cancel messages for all the bogus articles have been issued and should arrive at your system along with this message. It is doubtful that the cancel messages will catch up with the actual bogus articles, but your disk space tied up will be released. (some consolation :-( ) On a more positive note, another batch of 20 ( ~500k ) or so bogus articles was nabbed today prior to being sent out of necntc. -jj -- Jeff Janock - NEC Electronics +1 617 655 8833 jeff@necntc.NEC.COM {ames, decvax, harvard, linus, mit-eddie}!necntc!jeff
