Scenario A
1) The thread starter opts out of usenet.
No replies from anyone will be sent to usenet for the lifetime of that thread.
Scenario B:
1) The thread was initially connected to usenet.
2) you made a post with the 'do not send' button checked.
3) somebody responds specifically to your post by clicking the reply button.
Neither your post or the reply will go to usenet.
Responses to other posts within the thread will be sent out as usual.

It's probably worth your while to take a moment to familiarize yourself with the many British Expats forums.
Please see the descriptions below the US visa related forum titles-

NCP, you closed my thread that was posted in the wrong place the other day too. Wouldn't it be nicer if you just moved the thread instead?

Not at all. I've seen other threads get moved to different forums, I just didn't understand why he couldn't have done that with my thread or the thread being mentioned in this thread......if that makes sense!
