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.

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.
