Although this is true I am sure that it has nothing to do with 
Brian's reported problem which is the appearance of double copies of 
articles in his newsbase threads.

As a test, you can force the error by re-editing an article in 
batch.txt to put in the double newsgroup name and you will see the 
article made to appear twice. Do the same with two copies of the 
article each with that error and you will find just the same two 
copies and not four.  The first copy alone will cause the double 
appearance and any second copy fetched by ka9q will be discarded by 
unbatch as a detected duplicate.

Regards,
