You'll still see multi-posts though (identical posts to > separate froups).

I have Leafnode setup to not download postings with more than 2 cross postings. slrn's filtering is quite powerful, and with Leafnode, one can access more than one nntp server. I wouldn't use anything else -- I've tried others, but I keep going back to slrn/leafnode. -- Regards Stephen +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The last thing one knows in constructing a work is what to put first. -- Blaise Pascal +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
