- If you want to moderate rec.scouting.program/local/wisdom/misc to
- exclude articles crossposted to rec.scouting.policy or other
- newsgroups, that is fine with me (since I probably won't be reading it
- anyway). But don't ban crosspostings to rec.scouting.policy; such a
- ban increase the use of network resources, as articles were posted
- twice, and would isolate discussions.
-
- (If you personally don't want to read any crossposted articles, a
- newsreader like "rn" that makes it easy to kill such articles. If you
- only want to read a crossposted article once, a newsreader like "nn"
- that only displays them once.)
