It seems that every time someone raises a new issue with news, new
articles on the same topic keep coming days later that appear as if
the author is unaware of all of the previous discussion.  Why not
have postnews or inews or whatever check and see if the news
submitter has read all of the articles in the categories to which
she/he is posting.  If not, the user should be warned and given the
opportunity to read the new items before posting.  This may cut down
the amount of duplication in the stuff flying over the net.
