Tim Pierce is both abrasive and wrong about trn 2.2. Though the version
is, in fact, not new, the patch to fix the anomalous behavior is
quite recent. It's only in the last month or less that starting a
new topic starts a new thread, due to the patch fix. Before that,
trn 2.2 started a new topic in the existing thread, unless one
used the $ key to go to the end of the threads in a particular
newsgroup.

Being mistaken about facts is not an offense, but a human error,
easily rectified..  Being both rude and offensive, as well as being
mistaken, is the sign of a fool, and is usually irremediable.
