I am very interested in the contents of most of the Usenet groups I read.
That is why I read them. Sorting out things when the disk fills up is not
interesting, I do it because I have to. Rereading articles I read two

posted to a group is not a problem, the group remains equally interesting.

So ... I still say that I would rather lose news than have old new
recirculated.
