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?
