That's probably where the core problem arises. The downstream news
client will only send one copy to the server or the first moderator.
Even if it sent a copy to several moderators, that's mostly harmless
in this case because the duplicate article could not be posted as a
previously-approved one has succeeded. The second moderated posting
would fail of course... sadly requiring special handling.
