Assuming "junk" means "ensure that you don't see again" (i.e., it's not some
"rn" term with a specific meaning inside "rn"), there's no way to do it for
cross-postings which have been split into two or more postings by broken
news systems along the way, or by cross-postings generated by somebody
mailing to the ARPANET mailing lists INFO-UNIX and UNIX-WIZARDS, say, and
getting the same message posted separately to net.unix and net.unix-wizards.
If the article was posted, rather than gatewayed, and there are no sites
running such broken news software, you should only see the article once.
