  I don't see the original post. I'm guessing it's
coming out of Google Groups. You might consider
using a real newsreader and a real usenet server,
so that you can use the real usenet newsgroups.

   In any case, Randomize should be called with
every call to Shuffle. Randomize without a parameter
calls Timer to get a seed number for shuffling. You can
also use a unique numeric parameter if you like. Without
calling Randomize you'll get the same seed each time.
So calling Randomize only once for each file is exactly
what you don't want to do because you'll get the same
shuffle each time.
