I'm fairly sure that I didn't say that, and a quick grep of my e-mail reveals that I have not used the phrase "more unique" in any e-mail I have sent for the past month and a half. I would explain (again) why the Date is part of article uniqueness in the USEPRO protocol, but I've done so multiple times before, I think the draft covers it, and I think you actually understand it and are just needling me out of some sense of personal amusement. (That amusement, for the record, isn't shared.) We've discussed how article uniqueness works in netnews repeatedly; please don't take cheap shots at a simplified summary. If you don't think we have time for sort of nitpicking, then actually don't do it. -- Russ Allbery ([email protected]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
