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.
