Remember to allow for moving a discussion.  My usual method for moving
a discussion is to cross-post to both the old and the new groups, with
a Followup-To to the new group, and say in the message that I'm moving
it and why.  This can produce crosspostings between almost any two
groups - for example, I recently crossposted a message to comp.lang.c
and sci.lang for this reason.
