Where are these old articles coming from?

[Boyd Ostroff]

I logged in today and saw LOTS of news in comp.sys.3b1 (85 articles) and
started reading, but kept getting this sense of deja vu.... There are some
real old articles bouncing around here - what gives?  I'm sure there are
others, but here are some headers from a few:
