following well considered thoughts to the readers of rec.boats:

I upgraded to Agent 4.0 yesterday and it blew everything up - wiped
all the messages and threads. I had to scramble to find the Agent 3
file to restore some functionality to Usenet functions.

Not only that, but it wiped all the threads out and I can't find where
I was in the discussion cycle with John and others.

You heard tell of such a thing?


No.... ! What did you upgrade from, Version 3.3? Are you sure you
upgraded into the same directory?


Couldn't he also just retrieve all headers for the group, sort by date,
delete all but the last couple days, and then sort by thread?

I'm not sure what version 4.0 does, but it's easy repopulate a group's
headers with 1.91.
