I'm guessing that you read via the news gateway... if you look at the full
headers of those messages you'll find that most of them were /not/ mailed
to linux-kernel... the news gateway is broken in weird ways right now.

Also, compare the contents of the newsgroup to the archive at
http://www.ecsnet.com/lnxlists/linux-kernel/

Again: could someone /please/ fix this? Or else just decide that we're
not going to have a news gateway and turn it off, but the current state
of affairs is a disaster.
