For those who use vnews, part of the problem lies in which newsgroup is
mentioned first. Vnews seems to block out a particular article in a newsgroup
if that newsgroup is mentioned as the second (or subsequent) one, and if you
have not yet read the first newsgroup that was mentioned.

For example, if the newsgroups were net.women,net.flame and one subscribed to
both newsgroups and read net.flame first, one would not see the article until
one started reading net.women. 

It is possible therefore to view an article, in say net.women for example, of
which the main reference is (or the article should be in) net.flame. For
net.women and net.flame one could substitute any two newsgroups that get
cross-posted.

Lets put it another way:

Whenever articles are posted to more than one newsgroup, somebody somewhere 
will probably get annoyed. :-) :-)
