Message response

This is off subject, but is there a reason that people in this news
group don't reply to the original message so that there is a thread for
the original question rather that sending a new messafe each time with
an "Re:" subject.

In my experience it makes it much easier to follow the responses and
maintain continuity for each subject as opposed to having to search down
the list for ht enext"Re:" that concerns the thread you are trying to
follow.

The same reason they don't use spell check I guess.

 

Not everyone's newsreader supports proper threading. Some newsservers may not
either. Deal with it.

 

Your newsreader may be configured to show everything "flat" instead of
threaded. check your preferences.

 

Sorry, 4 other news groups all show up threaded. Matt's reply makes sense
though.

Matt,
let's not get testy. In my sheltered experience with news readers they have always
shown up threaded so I assumed that was the norm. TX 4 the education.

One newsgroup I'm on is moderated and requires an email address be registered
with the moderation software before posts will be automatically accepted to the
group, or they must be hand-moderated. They can also be posted by emailing a
post to the moderation bot, if they're not being accepted normally. If done
that way, the threading is immediately broken as well.

There are tons of reasons threads can break, be split up, etc., most simply due
to differences or limitations in the technology.

 

I'm seeing them threaded.
