Summary: 

I'm very curious (and frustrated) about something.  I read all three of the
newsgroups indicated in the Newsgroups: line of this article.  I've
noticed some confusing facts:  it seems that most people who post to
net.unix also post to net.unix-wizards.  Why is this?  Why do the
followups always appear in both groups (I realize that this is due to
the Newsgroups: line in the original)?  Is mod.unix the appropriate
forum for this stuff?

I get kind of tired of seeing the same articles in both groups.
Apparently readnews/vnews has the smarts not to show you an article if
you've already seen it in another group.  I'm using rn - does it have
the same capability (Larry?)?

Does everyone else just take this for granted, or is there some more
confusion out there?

Bewildered.
