If your newsreader fails to thread it properly, then the problem is at your end. My newsreader (Turnpike) does correctly thread it as a reply to your post. The posts by [email protected] in this thread do have missing reference headers, so Turnpike can't possibly work out which posts they are replies to, so it ends up threading them as replies to the oldest unexpired post in the thread, making it seem like [email protected] is talking to himself. Perhaps your newsreader can get confused if a thread contains a mixture of posts with and without reference headers. [ All, part of the problem is the moderation software. I just found (but haven't fixed yet) another bug in how the "References:" header is being processed. ): Sorry, Mod ] -- Mike Williams Gentleman of Leisure Mike Williams <[email protected]>
