I must admit that I missed most of the beginning of this extended
conversation, but anyone who should not want to listen to what Bill has
to say then should have  a newsreader that supports kill files and then 
learn how to use it.  Frankly I couldn't care less where, when, or how 
many groups Bill posts to or uses to respond to someother person (I 
typically ignore about 90% of the posts in newgroups I read anyways),
but use of the Followup-To: header is considerred good net etiquette.
