Are you guys referring to the web interface or NNTP?
I have not personally seen this problem via the website, but I have noticed
that certain settings on my nntp will keep or NOT keep a certain number of
messages in a newsgroup.
For instance, my nntp will keep the last 300 messages based on my settings
(in Outlook Express). Hypothetically, if John Doe posted a message one day
and there have been more than 300 messages in that newsgroup afterwards, his
message would drop of of my nntp. If Jane Doe replied to his message
recently, then her "re:" will show up in the list of the 300 messages but
not the original.
Please FUT to lugnet.admin.general OR admin.general.nntp

| (...) Just for reference, the problem that Ram is describing is wholly separate from what I'm talking about. His question seems to involve the expiration of parts of a thread, while I'm referring to the omission of source-links in follow-up posts. (...) (20 years ago, 4-Jun-04, to lugnet.general)
