(Supposedly) net.folloup is for followups to articles posted to net.general.
This of course presumes that the original articles in net.general were
appropriately posted there.  This allows the universal-interest
characteristic of net.general to be preserved, while allowing followup
postings to be made.

It seems the convention is rather poorly observed.
