I've seen other news clients work that way, and they made a right pig's
breakfast of things when the same group was available on different
servers, with the same messages but with different article numbers or
message IDs, more so if a server didn't have all of the messages that
you wanted to read (you didn't have a way to manually choose the server
that you wanted, to try and work around it).
Does Pan get that right?

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
I read messages from the public lists.
