If you read news by pointing a web browser at google, you
might well see that. But like I said to start with, it
does it for you... and nobody else. You do realize that
most of us use real news software?

The *vast* majority of Usenet readers have discovered ways to
make an article they have seen (either if they read it or
decided they didn't want to) disappear *forever*. You can't
make it come back to life by adding another article to the
thread.

If you haven't learned how to do that, you are wasting a huge
amount of time sorting articles that your computer can easily,
in the blink of an eye, manage for you.

This isn't a huge amount of text. And we are not exactly
arguing about it either. I'm trying to help you learn more
about how it works. (Given the foolishness of most of your
articles, that is probably pointless...)

Whatever, your "bump" messages don't do what you think they do.
