The older versions of A are particularly prone to this; what happens is that insertion takes so long the next insertion attempt times out and dies. I have no idea, however, *why* this should cause truncated articles; I've merely observed that it does. ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
