Purrs all around

Seems like there are many out there in need of purrs. So, here's to all
those in need, both public and private (we know you're out there!).

PURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

My "Purrs all around" post appears in my newsreader under a post you made
with the exact same subject field, but mine was not a reply to your post, I
didn't even see your post when I sent mine, yet it appears in the same
thread, without the "" in front as replies normally have.

I'm thinking it's odd that we chose the same exact phrase to put in the
subject field and then the newsreader put them both in one thread.

Maybe you're both being directed by the mothership.

Not that odd. There are two ways to thread messages. One is to use
the "References" header. That's the most reliable and effective way.
Whenever you follow up to someone's post, your news client
automatically includes a "References" header that tells everyone's
client what other messages are related to yours. If you look at this
post and enable "show headers" in your news reader, you will see the
references header. Each entry represents a message in the thread and
is a unique identifier for that message.

THe other way is more ... approximate. It is probably a setting. It
looks at subjects and, if they're the same, assumes that they're
probably part of the same discussion, just somehow the data got lost.
This can be helpful if, say, someone has a habit of creating an entirely
new message rather than using the followup command.
