Sorry OT, but I believe I can see the problem with messages being duped back from -newbies (even when they're not being posted to there!) that was happening last week on another thread, similarly.

(Dag-Erling Sm?rgrav) The second (dupe) of each of those above was appended with a -newbies trailer, as if somehow messages to -newbies are being automatically posted back into -questions? I'll just quote one (shortest) example, which going by the short headers listed in -questions-digest, was not crossposted to -newbies .. and even if it had been, why's it here?
