News articles

A quick suggestion regarding posting of news articles.  I know this
discussion has been had several times on both lists and the consensus is
that we should just go ahead and send full texts.  But it would be nice
if we could cut down on the number of duplicate articles posted.  We
don't need to read two different stories from different sources that
ultimately tell us the same thing.  If one adds more information than a
previous post, that's different.  And if two people send an article
within minutes of each other, obviously they wouldn't know.  But if we
can take the time to read through what's already posted, we can save
some duplication and frustration on those who aren't interested in that
article.

What I usually do is as I read the lists or find articles, I write posts
but save them to my Drafts mailbox.  If I see something else that
duplicates what I was going to post I just delete it.  Once I've read
everything and am pretty sure nobody else has posted what I am about to,
I go into the Drafts folder and actually send the posts.
