When changing the newsgroup within a thread, it’s good practice to make the
post in both the old and the new newsgroup, with the FUT going (only) to the
new.
This crossposting, apparently, makes it much easier for those using
newsreaders to follow the thread.
•It lets the new group see from where the
thread has come (which wouldn’t happen if you just set the FUT), and
•It
lets the old group see to where the thread has disappeared (which wouldn’t
happen if you just posted to the new group).
Thus, your post should have been to both .market.b-s-t and .o-t.d, with the
follow up to .o-t.d.
Hope that helps.

This sounds way too complicated for a toy forum. I probably should just
refrain from posting in the future to avoid more headaches. That sounds much
easier. :^)
