There will still be the same problem with article numbers.

One solution is to use a newsreader that employs headers to fetch the
articles, another is an off-line reader such as NewsHopper which stores
article numbers in a 'fetch' file for a given news server, so that you can
keep your feed from different servers separate. But then, you will still
get duplicates as it fetches the same articles from the different servers.
Fetching by header is the only real solution. Doesn't
MacSlurp/Toadnews/TheNews do that?
