If a question is relevant to four groups then by all means post it in
those four groups. 

But if a particular answer is not relevant to some of those groups,
then in replying to that answer, set follow-ups to go only to those
groups where the discussion is relevant.

If someone in one of the groups where follow-ups are not set responds
in a way that makes it relevant to that group again, they can always
reset the follow-ups to their message to include that group again.

Thread drift means that something can drift from being on-topic to
off-topic to on-topic again, but if it stays off-topic in any group,
set follow-ups to exclude that group from further discussion.
