reading the wreck on Google groups via internet explorer, I would sometimes come across a very long thread that stretches back years, and had been added to recently, after a gap of many years. Why, I wondered, does that happen? Well, now I know. I posted from AOL, and on AOL, my post appears with seven responses...but when I check the post on Google groups, it has been linked with a rail-and-stile thread from 1998...as I said, Fascinating!
