Bit silly really.... I still say that the distribution mechanism should be reworked.... But now another question/suggestion/idea: How about a mechanism which will only present me with a message ONCE, even though it's posted to several groups? I mean, if a message is posted to "net.a,net.b,net.c" and I read all three groups, it would be nice to only have to plough through the message once, perhaps merely being reminded of the message the second and third times...
