   Here's the way it works: If YOU think thread drift has rendered it off   
   topic in one or more newsgroups in the crosspost, then YOU cut the   
   crosspost.   
      
   You just posted off topic. Setting Followup-To is a case of Do As I Say,   
   Don't Do As I Do.   
      
   No one posting a followup has to follow your instructions in   
   Followup-To. The author is responsible for whether he crossposts, not   
   the author of the precursor article.
