Maybe. Usenet etiquette (and my news client) encourages using the
Followup-to header when posting to multiple groups to limit followup
postings to the single most relevant group.
<http://www.smfr.org/mtnw/docs/Usenet.html>
<http://www-archive.mozilla.org/community/etiquette.html>
...etc...
From RFC 1036:
"2.2.3. Followup-To
This line has the same format as "Newsgroups". If present, follow-
up messages are to be posted to the newsgroup or newsgroups listed
here. If this line is not present, follow-ups are posted to the
newsgroup or newsgroups listed in the "Newsgroups" line."
In this case, my news client suggested the header and I figured since
the announcement was mainly about the Mac OS X operating system, I'd
oblige and set the Followup-to header to comp.sys.mac.system, which
amounted to me pressing the Return key on my keyboard. It's simple
enough for anyone reading to see that's where follow-up posts will go. I
suppose it could be argued that since both groups are technically
relevant, one could omit the header. I don't see that it makes all that
much difference either way, though. And I tend to err on the side of
caution if possible - when it occurs to me, anyway. : )
