I don't know about any other sites, of course, but here at bsu-cs this news-
group has been getting flooded by what appear to be "bounced" or "forwarded"
copies of nearly every article that's been posted in the recent past.  The
FROM lines look like this:

	From iuvax!rutgers!ucsd!ucbvax!LBL.GOV!carl%CitHex.Caltech.EDU%KL.SRI.COM%lbl%sfsu1.hepnet Sat May 28 19:45:55 1988

	From: carl%CitHex.Caltech.EDU%KL.SRI.COM%lbl%sfsu1.hepnet@LBL.GOV

The contents of the messages posted invariably consist of up to 40 "Received 
from" lines, a la "bounced" e-mail.  I conjecture that this user's account has 
been removed, but not his Mail forwarding record.

I don't know how to decipher all the percent-signs and greater-than signs and
whatnot in that path -- this is the most TWISTED address I've seen on the net 
to date.  Can SOMEONE PLEASE contact this person or site and alert them to the 
problem?  This newsgroup fills up fast enough as it is, without having to worry
about many-headered duplicate messages.

Thanks in advance,

  Chris Chiesa
