Your newsreader has forgotten what it has read.

Or he's getting posts that never got there until now. I wonder if they're
from google.

Either your newsreader has lost track of the article numbers you've
read, or your news service had renumbered its articles, or you're
getting all those Google Groups posts that had been storing up for the
past week or so, or some combination of the above.

I occasionally have this happen to me. But I'm using Eternal-September
and Thunderbird as a newsreader. I just do a sort by date and then
mark all the old stuff as "read". Only takes a few seconds.

I blame it all on those faster-than-light neutrinos.

There is a reader tool to get next # headers, this would give you any past
messages not marked as read. Could that be it?
