For cases like this, hit your "l" key (lower case L) and continue
reading.  If there are followups, you'll read them.  If there are not,
you'll continue on to other subjects.  When you're done reading all
articles, you'll get the question, "Show leftover articles again?", and
when you answer affirmatively, you'll see the original article you were
looking at when you pressed "l".  You can do this several times.

I find it is very nice to read all the posted articles before following
up, because sometimes someone will followup to the article with a
different subject, so there is no need to answer it yourself.
