WOW!!  I just discovered something even more screwy about all of this.
As we know, Ben's posts show as new threads via HTTP.
BUT, I just checked via NNTP and the threading seems to be okay.  And I
checked in more than one newsgroup to be sure.  If I am looking at things
properly, Ben's posts do seem to be following the thread correctly in my
primary newsreader (MSOE  v. 4.72) and my alternate newsreader (Gravity v
2.20 b 1700).  Kinda funky.....

IIRC, Gravity has a option/setting to thread by subject -- a crude, but
somewhat workaround.

Don't know 'bout that.  But I have things set up to view threads expanded which
works nice.  However, I do dislike Gravity because I cannot sort by thread as a
secondary sort parameter.  If I want to sort by subject and also follow the
thread I must select one message and then sort by thread--it is not done by
default.



That's probably what you're seeing.  Ben's messages are actually missing the
References/In-Reply-To header entirely.

Yup, that is correct.  Below is a sample header from one of Ben's messages I
pulled from Gravity.  Don't know if it provides any new info.  Previous message
Reference header definitely missing.
