Message-ID: <105@cbosgd.UUCP> Date: Tue, 5-Jul-83 22:22:56 EDT Article-I.D.: cbosgd.105 Posted: Tue Jul 5 22:22:56 1983 Date-Received: Thu, 7-Jul-83 20:07:05 EDT References: <2302@csu-cs.UUCP> Organization: Bell Labs, Columbus Lines: 6 If the user posts the article properly (by posting it ONCE and mentioning all newsgroups at once), only one copy is transmitted and only one copy is stored. If they post it separately to each newsgroup (a practice punishable by boiling in oil), there is no reasonable way to detect the duplication, so multiple resources are consumed.
