If it looks like there are lots and lots of unlabeled BSE postings in
this group, your newsreader is probably set to automatically explode
digests in this group. The BSE digest recently began to be sent here
to r.g.pbm.

Look in your newsreader documentation to turn off this feature and the
BSE posts will go back to being one easily-handle-able lump. For instance,
in nn, put in a file called ~/.nn/init the commands:

on entry rec.games.pbm
	:unset split
end

hope this helps cut down confusion,
