Correction I looked in the wrong tar.gz file. It turns out to look
like this:
sept25:gnu.emacs.gnus 22149 21439 y
sept26:gnu.emacs.gnus 22173 21439 y
sept27:gnu.emacs.gnus 22185 21924 y <= lost 500 posts
current:gnu.emacs.gnus 22230 21924 y
Something I did yesterday caused it... but can't think what.
It seems to be only gnu.emacs.gnus that was effected. Would a kill and
retrieve from kill list cause this? (don't remember that happening but..)

But again, it seems to only be gnu.emacs.gnus that is effected so
probably not any of the above.
