Hello -

As the message summary states, the problem with gordon.UUCP
has been dealt with.

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
