Yes, I can follow it. It is an extra step to do so. One also has to
realize that there might be a post in another group (since we aren't
following a follow-ups header here - remember, the hypothetical question
being asked is being asked in the appropriate newsgroup, but TLC can't
put their response there, they have to put the response in another
newsgroup). Now if there's some way to see posts which are responses to
a particular post, I'm all ears. Now perhaps Netscape isn't the best
news reader to use and maybe I do need to look at the others, though I
have to be careful what I use at work [at least we no longer have a flat
out ban against using freeware]).
