Hmmm...that's alarming...that shouldn't be happening. Are you SURE?
What's the URL of a thread display, for example, that's not threading
properly?
I ask because of the way lugnet newsgroup canceling works -- when an
article is canceled, it gets moved rather than deleted. This means that
the article is actually still there -- it's just no longer viewable by
itself -- but its ghost is still there. The routines which handle articles
check a "Canceled" flag and display "(canceled)" if the article is canceled,
otherwise the body or subject line. Note that in the threaded displays of
this thread, you still see the person's name -- that's because the article
is still actually there (100.000% of it) -- you just can't see it.
Anyway, to make a long story short, I'm quite shocked to hear that you've
seen anything squiffy on the website display of this thread. I'd love to
be shown a URL which demonstrates the described bugginess so that I can
fix it!
Thanks,
--Todd
p.s. Not sure what you mean by "pruning" -- no subtrees were pruned -- only
articles which matched the B&W criteria outlined by Brad.
