It is quite possible that when each of those eleven people responded,
they couldn't see each others posts.  Apparently, news propogates
relatively slowly.  For example, my server *still* shows only two
responses to your first post (one from "The Lost Wizard of Nothing",
and one from Fred Smith).  It currently shows NO replies to your
complaint.

Furthermore, I have seen plenty of replies in newsgroups which are
completely wrong, so eleven identical reponses should provide some
level of confidence in the answer to your question.

P.S.  An int is 4 bytes.
