How wrong you are, it has only just begun.

Huh? Someone hijacked my thread. I started this as a new thread titled
the same as this one and it ends up in here.

Anyway, how many new posts do you see about NSR? It's dead already.
NSR is nothing but NT 2004 with more bling-bling.

I wouldn't put too much stock in ANYTHING that "Flightless" adds to the
newsgroup.

Yea, I've seen his vapid posts before. I'm really curious how a new
post I made ended up in this thread though.

I've seen Linux people do weird things to posts before, like sending
out a cancel bot on my posts to a particular thread just because they
didn't like what I was saying.

Seriously, I made a new post that should have started a new thread
called NSR and it ends up in this RE:NSR thread. Strange.

This thread shows in Free Agent as starting on 1/22/2005 as RE:NSR
I made a new post 3/2/2005 called NSR but it is appended to this
RE:NSR thread. Is that how you see it?

That's how newsgroups work.

Your dates? FWIW, the original show up here - maybe you just need to
upgrade to OE... ;-)

Enough of this already. I haven't seen any reduction in the online
community using N2003 so far. Keep in mind that EA doesn't really care
how many people play NSR online, only how many copies they SELL.

Since Papy is gone, it's the current Papy users that will determine the
direction that online racing takes.

Haven't seen any real change yet, and the serious (more than 2 nights
per week) drivers I have spoken with haven't seen any reason to switch
yet.

No it isn't. If I start a new post it starts a new thread and not
appends itself to an old thread. Maybe I pressed some key in Agent
that made it behave that way. It's happened before. :-)

I've been using Free Agent since 1993 and I ain't changing now. Maybe
I'll downgrade to X-News instead.

uhhh, yeah it is. Try it. Don't tell me it isn't.

Your post is a new thread. Check the full headers; if there is no
references: header available, as is the case in your post, the posting
starts a new thread. At least this is what the usenet standard says;
so most standard compliant newsreader *do* present you posting as a
start of a new thread.

It's a Agent configuration thing. Somewhere in the options, it lets you
decide wether to arrange the threads by Subjects or if it should take
the only reasonable approach, namely threading by references.
Going the "thread by subject"-approach can and obviously will lead to
new threads being presented as a subthread of an already present thread
with the same subject. As has been demonstrated.

Yea, that's what I've done. Pressed some key that has reconfigured it
to display this way. Now to find that damn option. That's the problem
with Agent, it has a ton of options and remembering them all sometimes
gets confusing.
