The solution is very simple:  Click your browser's Back button 6 times --

A few (many?) browsers these days have a pull down menu that lets you go back
multiple times in a single operation.  The ones I've seen use the title but
the title when browsing here appears to be invariably the current newsgroup.

lugnet.admin.general:379 post    (my current URL)

Adding "by _postername_" for the first one could also help within a thread but
might make titles slightly excessive.

What do you think?

I've seen with a thread snapshot, wow!)
