I'm very curious (and frustrated) about something. I read all three of the
newsgroups indicated in the Newsgroups: line of this article. I've
noticed some confusing facts: it seems that most people who post to
net.unix also post to net.unix-wizards. Why is this? Why do the
followups always appear in both groups (I realize that this is due to
the Newsgroups: line in the original)? Is mod.unix the appropriate
forum for this stuff?
I get kind of tired of seeing the same articles in both groups.
Apparently readnews/vnews has the smarts not to show you an article if
you've already seen it in another group. I'm using rn - does it have
the same capability (Larry?)?
Does everyone else just take this for granted, or is there some more
confusion out there?
Bewildered.
