I think you're relying on a feature that inferior news client's don't
have.  That being when you mark a messages that is cross posted to
multiple groups as read in one group, it is also marked as read in the
other newsgroups that it's cross posted to.

Seriously? I had no idea users put up with newsreaders that don't chase
references.

Then why do I get so much grief for using trn4? It makes reading Usenet
ever so much more enjoyable.
