Incidentally, you seem to be approximately the fifth person to
point out that s is uninitialized. The first post to mention
this was posted about 9 hours before yours. And yes, that post
did arrive on your server; you and I use the same one.

However my reader shows posts in order of date/time, so the first
thing I read is the original question. I reply, and then find
other answers.

Why don't you read threads as threads?

I do. But within threads, things are organized as query followed
by answer. If there are multiple answers they are sorted by time.
e.g.:

.query t
|--.ans_1 t+1
|--.ans_2 t+22
| |--.ans_2_2 t+33
| |--.ans_2_3 t+34
|--.ans_3 t+3

etc. So I will see ans_1 and ans_2_* before ans_3.

Does that mean you have to respond to "query" before reading "ans_1"?
If it does, either get a better newsreader or learn to use the one you
have.

In mine, for example, I see a list of articles similar to the one you
describe. When I read an article, it's marked as read, but it doesn't
vanish from the list. That means I can easily read an entire thread
(at least the subset of it that's currently available), then go back
to an article I've already read and post a followup to it if there's a
point nobody else has made yet.

You can also reconstruct the thread with "A T" as well as mark articles
to stay visible despite read status.


My newsreader is Gnus, which runs under emacs; if you don't like
emacs, you're not going to like Gnus. But any decent newsreader
should let you do something similar.
