I think it is a better idea to use suck instead of slurp. I switched after I
noticed the following bug: when there are a lot of crossposts, slurp damages
the article.

I think also that suck does not load your ISP as much as slurp does because
suck does not use "newnews". Please correct me if I am wrong.
