(...) Richard & Simon, Please do not do this; please do not spam all the UK groups with a message like this -- there are too many loc.uk.* groups (83) for this to be a reasonable solution. Anyone who cares to know will either easily figure out all (...) (26 years ago, 12-May-99, to lugnet.loc.uk, lugnet.admin.general)

(...) No (sorry) the best I can do is to delete all of the spammed messages, but I can't reset the article counts in the ng's or else it will screw up peoples' newsreader counts. --Todd (26 years ago, 13-May-99, to lugnet.loc.uk)
 
  Re: All UK Groups subscribed?
 
(...) Actually, I think I may to have to figure out a way to revert the article counts all back to 2 after all, in order to clean up this situation most properly.

  Re: All UK Groups subscribed?
 
(...) Well, I've thought about this more, and there's really nothing I can do (that's 100% safe) to correct the problem with the article counts. They simply permeate the system too deeply, and it would take many hours of grueling fancy-footwork to (...) (26 years ago, 13-May-99, to lugnet.loc.uk, lugnet.admin.general)

  Re: All UK Groups subscribed?
 
(...) Ah! That would explain why I only got a handful instead of the veritable FLOOD of posts I was expecting when I saw you say it. [PS todd, is there any way to post via email?
