Deja adds an annoying footer.  Sometimes, the previous article is
quoted improperly.  The lines are wrapped, but not prefixed by a quote
sign, dramatically reducing readability, for example:

> tmpnam() is broken as designed (the information is already
outdated

has

In addition, Deja users tend to send multiple copies of their
articles.
