Uhh, with netnews as it is now, I would call
	"something that causes a reader to miss postings"
a feature, not a bug.

A radical suggestion: did you ever consider looking at the source and
finding and even maybe fixing the "bug"?

It sounds as if they put in the old vnews algorithm for skipping
multiple ng postings, only showing it to you in the first ng to which
you subscribe.  If you specifically specify (a single?) newsgroup on the
command line you'll get all postings-- this works well with the -p
option into a file.  If it really didn't show you the article at all
when you specified both of the groups it was contained in, then that
does sound wrong.

However, we do not have or run 2.10.2 so the above is strictly a
surmise.
