Followups are your friend! Followups are best used to redirect a thread that
doesn't really belong in a particular newsgroup, to another newsgroup. Eg:
http://www.lugnet.com/announce/?n=376

Which is the Lugnet Membership announcements - it was sent to three newsgroups
so that it had a wide audience, but followups were set to "lugnet.people" as
that was the most appropriate place to discuss them.

So, no matter which newsgroup you are in when you read that announcement, if
you reply to it then it "lugnet.people" will be put in the "Newsgroups" field
instead of the group that you started in.
