Yes, that's what happened. Cancelled articles don't reflect into the DB of
refs. Pruning has to be done at runtime. I think trn uses ( ) to show
cancelled and expired articles, like this:
( )--( )--[1]+-( )--[1]
|-[1]--[1]
\-[1]
It wouldn't be difficult to check whether an article still exists and
display a non-link if it's gone.

An indented text-based tree would be very easy to write (like the Netscape
built-in newsreader does) because the tree of articles is returned as an
object and there's just a display routine to dump it. But I really need to
focus on finishing up AucZILLA VII and getting the member stuff & houses
running...
I'll see tomorrow morning if I can do something additional for the
threading. It might only be 1/2 hour of work, whereas the other stuff
waiting is still quite a bit.
