Thanks for reporting this. Now for some followup questions:
I found your article in the dead.article file here, so I can see at least
part of the problem. Here's the header (indented):
Newsgroups: toomanyLEGOS?
References: <rueger-0910982046570001@as6-dialup-33.io.com>

So somehow it got addressed to the nonce newsgroup 'toomanyLEGOS?'
Looking at the References line, you appear to have been replying to this
article:
http://www.lugnet.com/news/display.cgi?lugnet.storage:56
(is that correct?)
I take it you accidentally typed 'toomanyLEGOS?' into the Newsgroups box?
(Or did it on purpose to see what would happen? :-)
There's no verification in the web interface (yet) on either the Newsgroups
or the Followup-To field. So (currently) if the ng names are messed with on
purpose or entered wrong accidentally, then the article goes into the
dead.article file and never shows up. Which I think is what happened here.
There's no code in use on the server which would have extracted
'too many' legos."?)
and munged this into
toomanyLEGOS?
There -is- code in one place which removes non-alphanumeric characters from
strings, but that code doesn't capitalize words. So fess up. :)

| (...) I know I didn't do it on purpose and am not sure how I could have done it accidentally. Maybe. But I REALLY doubt it. This is fairly weird.
