	It seems to me that the thing that would go the furthest
towards cutting down the number of unnecessary USENET messages would
be to alter the software to only allow posting a message to one group
at a time.

	For example, it is unnecessary to post something to both 

		ba.tiddlywinks

	and also

		ca.tiddlywinks

	since if it is for all of California, then that includes the
bay area.  This is simple.  Things don't need to go to both news.admin
and news.misc.  It seems to me that the groups are well designed NOT
to overlap.

	Is this possible, software-wise, oh USENET gurus?

	(I guess that the people who post their messages to ten groups
never read these messages!).
