Well, this is sort of a News 2.11B issue; I'm using the "vn" newsreader, at patchlevel 2 (I think) and it seems that it is missing a particularly nice feature of some other newsreaders. It does not eliminate multiple occurrences of cross posted articles. So if someone cross posts to two dozen newsgroups, I see the article in each and every one, instead of in only the very first newsgroup that I read that has that article in it. Does someone have a patch for "vn" to take care of this, or maybe even a similar newsreader other than vn that does this properly? I'm kind of stuck on vn's syntax and "feel", but...
