Aduke.943 net.general utzoo!decvax!duke!swd Thu Aug 13 09:23:28 1981 more rumor rumors Some random thoughts on the datamat!rumor article. 1) it did not enter the net at utzoo by having someone there run rnews to submit it. If they had, utzoo would have seen the article. If it entered at decvax, it would not have been sent to utzoo -- the anti loop code in news will not send an article to any system on the return path. Since the article did show up at decvax, it entered the net there. 2) what probably happened is that someone on the west coast (Note the PDT in the date line) created the article and ran uux - decvax!rnews
