You can indeed do
readnews -p > /dev/null
but it will take a while. You certainly want to & it, and it will hog a lot
of system resources copying all that news to nowhere.
2.10 does a check to see if stdout is /dev/null and doesn't bother to print
the news in that case. It just records it as read. This is much faster but
still worth &'ing.
