I too am tired of this discussion and hesitate to prolong it, but here goes anyway. :-) It sounds to me like a list header option that allowed the list owner to specify where duplicates are to be sent would help solve this problem. Then the option could be used to cause the duplicates to be sent to the owner of SCIFAQ-L instead of the poster. It seems like it makes sense for a list like SCIFAQ-L, whose only purpose is to redistribute USENET articles.
