followup /n./ On Usenet, a posting generated in response
to another posting (as opposed to a reply, which goes by email
rather than being broadcast). Followups include the ID of the
parent message in their headers; smart news-readers can use
this information to present Usenet news in `conversation'
sequence rather than order-of-arrival. See thread.
