I'm only reading comp.misc and not the other groups. Should I
set the follow-up-to comp.misc? Or should I continue to post in groups
I'm not even reading? What does the USENET etiquette say?

Most people set the follow-up if they feel their reply would be off topic
in some groups.
With current low Usenet activity it probably doesn’t matter as much.

There hasn't been an on-topic post in afc for quite a while.

Yeah, and here we go posting there once again---that's why I asked. I
guess it's okay given there's nothing going on there right now?
