But that's only an annoyance if you tend to read every article
without paying attention to the subject line. I believe that more
advanced readers present each subject line only once for a newsgroup,
with a number next to it indicating the number of articles in the thread.
(I use VNEWS, which =doesn't= have this feature, so I've provided
it for myself with auxilliary software.)
