Afloyd.176 net.followup utzoo!decvax!harpo!floyd!trb Mon Apr 26 08:09:47 1982 Watch it!!! Several folks have told me that net.followup is not the followup group for net.all ("Andy, HAVEN'T YOU READ THE MANUAL?"). I read, and I even try following up a random newsgroup, and sho nuff, the sucker goes back to the newsgroup. I'm running 2.6 netnews. I see, this morning, that there are several articles about pay tv or something (the subject field says "Watch it!!!" Oh.) in net.followup. Something is fishy, I assume that some old version of netnews follows net.all into net.followup. I'm not the netnews historian, I don't know. Therefore, my complaint stands, I don't want to see random articles (especially ones whose subject field is "Watch it!!!") in net.followup.
