Simple, really. I did Google searches of each of the referenced message
IDs and all of them were mirrored from http://compgroups.net. Giganews
is often used by third-party provider services and ISPs. The fact that
they are all posted by Giganews and are all responding to very old posts
are clues. That said, I certainly could be wrong in my conclusion, which
is why I used the word "seem" above. ; )

I often ignore posts from Google. Use a real news client instead.
