Thanks Eric,
That is great advice. I have encountered the issue about 3 times,
though now it has been a while without a problem. Each time I ended up
starting over. The last time, even tried to edit the .newsrc manually.
If/when it happens again, will use your advice and see how it goes. I
have a feeling it should be good.
Thank you.
