:I think the problem is that the normal cross-posting mechanism of rn while

:section (i.e. kill a thread which has crossposted articles and those articles
:will still appear when you go to read another newsgroup).  Are there any plans
:to "fix" this?

I've already asked the author about this.  It uses the catch-up code to
do this, and doesn't go hunting down all the xrefs, which would take
much longer.  He says it's not likely to change.  Don't worry, you'll
eventually become inured to this behavior.
