I find that very curious because the post is mine but which I
sent out with these headers:

The timezone on the date header has changed, the subject has been
truncated, the Path and injection info is all different, and most
crucially, the MESSAGE-ID and REFERENCES are completely bogus.
News servers rely on Message-ID to tell if a message is unique. Change
it, and it is now a new message. Screwing up References: header while
changing the Subject: is going to break news threading.
The newsgroup is almost not worth the effort with all the breakage that
happens here.

other breakage happens with References: headers due to mailing list stuff
