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.
