I question whether Followup fan-in has been thoroughly thought out. Note that there are many cross-postings where the proposed fan-in algorithms would do the "wrong thing", for example, the multitudes of mispostings along these lines: > Newsgroups: net.rumor,net.misc.coke > Subject: Re: Re: Classic Coke vs. Original Coke Also, I don't see where current news reading protocols have the ability to follow an interesting discussion thread into other newsgroups after a fan-in has occured. (Please mail me info if I'm missing something.) -- Wayne Throop at Data General, RTP, NC <the-known-world>!mcnc!rti-sel!rtp47!throopw
