Unfortunately, that's the way rn works.  If you're willing to give up
rn's better features (killing discussions, for instance), you can
either use vnews (a screen-oriented news reader) or readnews (the old
but reliable dumb-terminal version), both of which only show a cross-
posted article once.  Has anyone hacked rn to to this?
