   Sorry about that.  Mine allows me to do so.  The functionality I   
   actually use is a different flavor of it.  I have it notice the   
   message-id so I only read the message once, no matter how many   
   groups it shows up in.

   Well, I wouldn't think the scolding responses held so little   
   water if the people yelling about them also were good usenet   
   citizens and sufficiently trimmed their posts (Daniel is a big   
   offender in this regard).  If one wants to measure the affect on   
   usenet experience, not sufficiently trimming one's posts if far   
   more of a gregious error against usenet humanity than   
   cross-posting.
