Folks, I think we have a real benefit from having net.general
followups get fed into net.followup. However, I am not sure
there's a benefit to putting foo.general followups into foo.followup,
where foo is something more local than "net" (e.g. btl, bell, or
even a local newsgroup like "general".) It would be easy to change
the software. What do you think?
(1) Leave it alone - foo.followup is useful.
(2) Leave net.general/net.followup but remove the others.
(3) Remove all of them, so net.general followups go to net.general.
Assume that people who only want net.general will use the -f
option to readnews to avoid followups.
Please respond by mail to me and I'll post the results.
