- You're welcome! This is not an error per se. Junk holds all the news
- that get shipped to your system that you don't want. For example,
- say you get alt.hackers and an article is cross-posted to alt.hackers
- and alt.hackers.destructive. You don't get alt.hackers.destructive, so
- 1 copy goes into alt.hackers and 1 copy goes into junk.
-
- You don't need junk if you don't want it. I have it so I can
- easily monitor what's being thrown away (by reading newsgroup junk).
