- It helps if most of the articles from your feed sites are flowing from
- a single hub above:
-
- . Internet hub (e.g., emory)
- / \
- . . Usenet news hubs (e.g., slammer, uumind)
- \ /
- . Well-connected Waffle (e.g., willard)
-
- You can then change your FEEDS file to say (using real-world examples):
-
- slammer /path=emory /batch=comp16 *
- uumind /path=emory /batch=comp16 *
-
-
- However, that approach won't catch everything. When you receive the second
- copy from your second feed, because of cross-posts or whatever, that is the
- real source of your problems. The REAL answer is to detect, and delete, the
- duplicate messages, prior to batching them up for feeding to the other site.
-
- There are several third-party software applications to remove dupes.. two of
- which I wrote (antidupe, wafhist), and another recently under discussion in
- this newsgroup (Kevin Houle's DupWeed -- posted as a UUE to the newsgroup).
