This is only a test, to see if the newsgroup "consolidates" posts with the
same "Subject:"

AHA!
Note to self (and any others interested): If I use a "Subject:" for a new
post, and that subject is identical to a "Subject:" already used by another
poster, the newsgroup grabs my post and shoves it underneath the other
"Subject:" post, treating it as if it were a response.

It's called threading.
Of course. The point is that the newsgroup server is not using an
internal message ID for the threading, but rather the Subject text
itself. Using the Subject line causes problems in a busy newsgroup
because the chances of exact duplicates are higher.

....and the error is in the design of the news reader for not
following proper standards.
