Steve thinks that the display of junked articles takes too much time
on a slow terminal connection.  I think so, too.  That's why my rn
invocations include "-1200-t", which means, "if the bps rate is 1200
or less, then turn on 'terse' mode."  I think this will do what
Steve wants.  It doesn't entirely eliminate the display of junking,
but makes it much less verbose.  It's nifty!
