submission to multiple newsgroups
Subject: Submission to multiple newsgroups

I have a longstanding complaint about netnews.  Is there any way for
me to see only one copy of articles submitted to multiple
newsgroups?  We run the latest Version B news, and I get all my news
via a daily "at" job that runs "readnews -p" into a file and later
prints it.  (I don't have time to sit at the terminal and page
through it on line).  It seems to be more and more popular to
support things to lots of categories, and I get one printout for
each.  Is this the intended behavior?   Is there anything I can do
to stop it?  Should it be changed?

Just trying to save some trees!
