From: utzoo!decvax!harpo!npoiv!npois!cbosgd!mark Newsgroups: net.news.b Title: general and followup Article-I.D.:Posted: Tuesday, 11-Jan-83 12:44:31 EST Received: Thu Jan 13 03:40:39 1983 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. Mark
