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.
