(Re: comp.sources.unix) Summary: use the article id Message-ID: <500@yarra.oz.au> Date: 22 Nov 88 23:23:47 GMT References: <184@twwells.uucp> <7681@well.UUCP> <200@twwells.uucp> Organization: Pyramid Technology Australia, Melbourne Lines: 11 Why not have multiple moderators using a common method for generating article id's on the postings that they send? The posting would be distributed normally but there will be two versions on the net having different senders. Identical id's would prevent the duplicate copies being distributed any more than necessary. The article id chosen would have to use some part of the sender's message - this is the only thing that the multiple moderators have in common. Ben.
