Broken threads

What the **** is up with all the busted threads in this newsgroup lately?
Is my newsreader on the fritz, or are people just posting at random?

11 out of the last 250 articles appear to have been threaded by subject +
date alone, here, rather than by references header. Hmmm. If you're seeing
more than that, not me, occifer :8)

Maybe if you gave a specific example of what you're referring to, people could understand your point.

Usenet can sometimes appear "busted" to those who don't understand how it works. It can occasionally take a longer time for an
original post to appear on ones news server that the responses to it from others.

Thanks, Tim. It was my newsreader on the fritz, some corruption in the
cache I suppose. Stupid thing. Serves me right for abandoning tin.
