Again your story changes. You claimed that Bo had removed sci.physics
from the newsgroups list. He did not. He *added* a Followup-To: which is
a whole different matter. Bo admitted that he added same, and that he
*should* have noted so in the post. However, adding a followup-to will
have no effect on the receiving newsgroups of the post with the
followup-to. The post will be posted to any and all groups in the
newsgroups line. Your *newsreader* will post to the followup-to group,
if it is so configured.

Your claim was bogus, and now you waffle, trying to obscure that
bogosity. Bo did not remove sci.physics from the newsgroups header. You
could read Bo's post in sci.physics.
