It is real simple to put a Followup-To: header into the posted sources 
which redirects the discussion to the right place.  I add a 
   Followup-To: comp.sources.d
to posting which go to comp.sources.misc.  That way the discussion goes on 
where it should and I need to deal with much less mail... :-)   In the case 
of comp.sources.postscript the followups could be redirected to c.l.postscript.
Also, I politely inform people who have misdirected discussion posts to c.s.misc
so that they know they need to repost them to the right group.
