Given that I may not be here much longer, this may not be a problem for me,
but if there's a problem with either my software, Turnpike, or the NNTP server

I don't think it's a problem with LUGNET.  Check the Last Read Server Article

Have you just done connected to LUGNET on Turnpike or was it previously working

This could be a Year 2000 bug if it's going back to Last January - some problem
with the year.
