Problem with uk.rec.cycling on the Google Groups servers

Normally I'd just bitch on Google's help forums about this, but I read
quite a few other groups via GG and they're all fine, with only u.r.c.
displaying problems.

Recently, GG seems to have been resurrecting very old posts/threads in
this group and having them appear as if they're brand new, and only on
very specific topics. I'm seeing "new" threads that contain exactly
the same arguments by the exact same people from years ago, but seeing
them with very recent dates on.

Is anybody else noticing this issue?

Regards,
Trollsworth

Yes, hang around long enough and everything becomes déjà vue. It you are
bored, move on. Usenet is for idiots which I prove every time I post a
message.

I think somebody is testing a machine to try to beat the Turing test,
and hasn't got it quite right yet.

Mind you, if you read Jerome K. Jerome's "The Men on a Bummel", his
cycling sequel to "Three Men in a Boat", you see that the same bike
design ideas that he mocked more than a hundred years ago are still
around today
