Interesting that knews notices that the subject line is different and
gives a "dashed" line to the questionable article.  This sounds like
a broken posting program that "forgot" to zap the "References" line
when posting a new thread.

Of course, this (apparently) broken news poster also omits identifying
itself in the header :(
