There's no such concept in the news protocol (you reply to articles, not subjects or threads), so it's a bit naughty of your client to allow you to do this.
That means different readers are likely do handle it differently, and not necessarily how you intended. In a threaded newsreader, it's a broken thread, or another thread which happens to have the same Subject: but might not be displayed with the original thread depending how it orders different threads.
quote "I'd suggest you get yourself a compliant newsreader. Or learn how to use the one you have."
your headers...

Pan is reading it as continuously threaded too. We can't all be wrong. ;-) 'gnight Tim... :-D
Wossat, wossat, umm? Eh? Oh ...
Snap.

Good point; I routinely do that myself. I have no such sticker on my own new boiler, though my guy yesterday mentioned, when I asked which inhibitor to buy, that his firm uses a 'different trade Sentinel product the same as X100' - in retrospect not sure what that meant, but he had no reason not to just say 'X100'...
(also, having filled my system yesterday using my X100, he didn't use the sticker)

No. All I need to do is highlight the Subject.
Yes. Not something I like.
But I wasn't referencing to any article - just the subject.
And? If your newsreader can't put this under the same subject heading...
I've left the empty bottle on top of the header tank. The front of the boiler is a bit too visible (not in cupboard or anything).
Andy Another TB3 user with a new thread!
most people on here seem to have the sense to use a use a standards compliant newsreader, and know how to use it unlike you.

Dear boy, I'm not the one complaining...
Indeed, you are the person being complained about so do take the time and learn how to post a Followup to a newsgroup correctly.

I'm the one complaining - about your collective bloody boring subthread about crap newsreaders itch bitch mumble grumble
Don't worry Tim... I've just been to pick up the replacement anode I orded on Friday (see original post in this thread) and since I'm astounded at how much bigger it is than the sorry original item I saw on Friday, once I've got the old one out again I'll post a photo of the 'before' and 'after', in order to bring the thread back on track! ;)

Not knowing anything about pressurised systems, what is it that requires them to have a sacrificial anode, while 'ordinary' ones not?
Steel tank?
Stout fellow! (Well, perhaps not literally hem hem hem).
What's a non-pressurised tank made of then? And if this is an issue of copper piping connected to an iron/steel tank, are there not isolators for that? I'm sure that when I had some pipework replaced at my house in the US, this issue came up and was solved by using a very short plastic section designed to attach to coper one side and iron the other.
Like the cold water ones fitted to most houses before plastic arrived?
They have an all over sacrifical anode, they are galvanised...
TBH I don't know what pressurised tanks are made of, copper is to soft. I've seen stainless steel mentioned, would that need an anode? There is still iron and water about...
