- wrong..I'm the only user of my system. I have not posted and canceled an
- article for quite some time (unless by some fluke the expire deleted it before
- it's 'official' expire time). I don't think this is what is happening either.
-
- It does this during the night when the system does all of it's automated
- polling and batching.
-
- I just had the bug that I'd seen referenced here before where I followed up
- an article and when I got to the end of the messages in that group waffle
- couldn't find an article and it put my join counter to 0. Now I wish I would
- have paid attention to those earlier posts--- i dont know how to stop that.
-
- Any other ideas about the 0 message news files? Another point about them.
- They are from UUCP and not RNEWS.
