Nice tries, all, but the winner is...None of the above!!!

I do apologize for confusing the neters and getting people's hopes *down*!

I discovered that my posting looked fine on my machine, AND fine on my
news neighbor's machine.  We talk via 9600 baud V.42bis.  However, it was
garbled on the next machine down, which we talk to at 2400 baud MNP!!  We
discovered that this machine, a Sun Sparcstation (with plenty of disk)
didn't have Hardware Flow Control working on incoming calls.  Outgoing 
calls were fine, apparently.  We've since fixed the problem.

My guess is the lack of HFC garbled the article, but not badly enough for
the unbatcher to get confused.
