Yes.
There is another thread entitled "flood" of mails (which may be lost
in the mass of messages).
Basically, it seems that the usenet<->mail gateway has been broken for
some months now and is only now sending out all the old usenet
messages that never made it to the mail subscribers.
Wish a list administrator would post an explanation to the list
though.
Cheers,
Jonathan
