I don't get it. My NNTP feed reports the highest article (today) as 200 Supernews NNRP server ready - http://www.supernews.com (posting ok) group comp.infosystems.www.authoring.cgi 211 1123 85842 86964 comp.infosystems.www.authoring.cgi group selected Fine... looks like highest article is 86964. Now I look at group parameters for that group after a "C y": ("comp.infosystems.www.authoring.cgi" 3 ((1 . 91940))) Gah!? Where'd that 91940 come from? There are definitely no articles out there. And it's only this group. If I edit that number to 86900, I get about 60 articles, but it says there are 5040 to read (and it takes about three minutes of probing to figure out there's nothing between 86964 and 91940). And when I've read those 60 articles, I get no articles left to read, even if I ask for the "last 50" on entry. And the end number ends back up at 91940! Where is Terry Gnus getting the 91940 number from? Surely not entering the group, nor from the "active list" (which agrees with the group command). Is it hallucinating? -- Randal L.
