Actually I did not. I replied. I did not start a new thread.

Don't blame me for your problems with your ng reader.

Actually, I have a newsreader. You don't. You are using an email
program to approximate reading newsgroups.

Does anybody else see two different threads?

Is it just my newsreader? If so, I'll complain to Forte.

In Forté Agent, there's an option to "Start a new Thread when Followup Subject
Changes."

The reason a new thread was started is that "Jim"
apparently edited the Subject: line when he followed up, removing the "OT:"
That made the newsreader think it was a whole new thread--even though it had
been created as a follow-up, not a new article.

HTH,

Nope, I did no such thing. All I did was reply. I can honestly say that I do not know
how the OT was removed. I would have no reason for doing so.

Hmm...it was a weirdness in Outhouse Excuse. I just duplicated the
behavior. Evidently, OE strips out the "OT:"

So you have been exonerated for "changing the subject."

But you're still on the hook for using a lame news client like Outhouse Excuse.
