A Followup to or shortly fu2 is made to specify on which internet forum forum , mailing list or newsgroup the replies to a crossposting crossposted message should be published. Followup to with crossposting In a crossposting , even if it is possible that the answers to the initial message are all crossposted to the same groups, this situation should be avoided because there is almost always users who either do not want either can t continue this crossposting. If so many users stop the crossposting, and if they are on different groups, then the Conversation threading thread broke out between these groups, which leads to great difficulties to follow this thread. The correct solution is that one of the initial crossposters preferably the first chooses one of the groups as Followup to and indicates it to other users. Followup to for redirection Such Followup to group may be different from that or those of the original message. This lets you choose a more appropriate group for the Conversation threading thread , making so a redirection. In this case the poster should not only indicate that it is redirecting to fu2 the new and more appropriate group, but also make a full quotation of the redirected message usually the initial message of the thread , so that readers of the new group are informed of the question.
