That's already covered in the orginal thread. Same two newsgroups, same
crowd of people. What's the difference?
Keep it in the original thread where uninterested people can continue
to ignore it.

You're re-starting the same thread under a new root article, thereby
evading kill filters set up on the original thread.
In halfway decent newsreaders, people can killfile by thread, whereby
all articles associated with the same ancestral root article are
removed.
It's very bad practice to re-introduce continuations of long flamebait
threads under different thread identities.
