I'm gating compriv into a local newsgroup (willard.compriv), and do all
my reading via nn. I have not seen a single instance of a duplicate
message. Additionally, I don't have to worry about my mailbox filling
up, as the normal C News expiry zaps old articles from my spool.
Much could be gained by making com-priv a newsgroup; however, it would
not be me that would see the benefits... I already have them.
And, no, it is NOT my site feeding stuff back into the list.
