If the header is there, then the reference is in the NNTP server's
or overview file. When you request that header the server then searches
for it (usually) on separate hard drive space call a spool where the
articles are stored. In high volume servers, there can be 3 or even 4
physical servers involved. One for intake, one for overview, one for
storage, one for outgoing. So the mere presence of the article's header
does not mean that the article actually exists. This can be caused by a
server that has a corrupted overview file or poor synchronization with the
spool server or server process.

huh? jeezus are you a politician from a former life or what

Network admin that knows how news servers work.

A Network admin would certainly know the intricate workings of Google Groups
functions, their 6-day retention/deletion policy of any 'X-No-Archive Yes' specified
post, and the reasons to specify "X-No-Archive Yes" in every usenet post.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-No-Archive

Network admin would also know 'X-No-Archive Yes' is a newsgroup message
header used to prevent a Usenet message from being archived in various
servers..

Beginning in 2005, Google's newsgroup service (Google Groups) changed its handling
of "X-No-Archive Yes' specified-posts, allowing messages with the header to be archived
and made available for view for a period of six days; after six days, the message was then
deleted from the archive.

What does all that have to do with you personally requesting that your own
posts not be archived via Google groups:

Has everything to do with explaining how a corrupted article index can
cause the header to show without the article being in the spool.

What does it have to do with you specifying "X-No-Archive Yes" in the headers
of your usenet posts
?

Ahh so you think I contacted Google and asked them to not archive my
messages?

Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahah.

You need access to better jokes, dude.

The proper header to prevent a message from being archived is as follows:
X-No-Archive: Yes.

'X-No-Archive' is a newsgroup message header used to prevent a Usenet message
from being archived in various servers.

What do you specify in the header of your every single post?
X-No-Archive: Yes.

For example, your post:

Path:

You specify your posts "X-No-Archive Yes" which is common practice for anyone
who x-posts to more than one newsgroup in effort to cover their tracks. As you
are well aware as Network admin, Google has a policy of retaining such messages
for 6-7 days, then discarding them. Hence, they will not be archived.
Maybe this was an 'accident' on your part, perhaps some 'oversight, as a Network admin,
you putting the "X-No-Archive Yes" in.. ?

LOL. now *that's* funny!

You didn't "contact Google" and ask them not to archive your messages", get real.
Nice crack to 'distract' the non-network savvy guitar players though, gotta hand it to ya.

What you DID do is specify your posts to Google's server as "X-No-Archive Yes".
As you know, Google has a strict policy of retaining messages specified 'X-No-Archive Yes'
for six days, then automatically discarding them: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-No-Archive
Neat effort to obfuscate my point though. Sure you aren't in politics or running for office somewhere ?
Expecting your further spin in followup reply..

'Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahah.'
