last time I tried reading a newsgroup on DejaNews, I couldn't find a way
to make it remember which posts I'd seen, from one time to the next.

(to be fair, it wouldn't be easy for a web-based newsreading service to
do that; they'd basically have to make you log in and keep your .newsrc-
equivalent on their server.  that, or give you a giant cookie, probably
big enough that the browser would throw it away)

anyway.. have they fixed that?
