"Research led by the University of Leeds has
discovered genetic evidence that overturns
existing theories about human migration into
Island Southeast Asia (covering the Philippines,
Indonesia and Malaysian Borneo) - taking the
timeline back by nearly 10,000 years."
d.c.
That is what Jack said.
I am happy you take your valuable time to track
evey move I make.
No need to track you down.
Unlike yoy I use a decent newsreader.
I have a Google Group account.
That's what I said.
Why did you repeat Jacks contribution?
Why do you ask such questions when you can
read between the lines? Clearly, I did not check
whether ANYBODY, let alone Jack, had got there
earlier with the same link. Why would you expect me
to do so?
You posted it in the same thread
in reply to Jack's post
As a possible explanation, I have noticed at least two situations this
past week where I have posted what I thought was an original thread
only to find it part of another thread which involved the same
original source. Either newsgroups or Google is getting tired of
multiple threads or the Internet is starting to think for itself.
Only if exactly the same title is used that is possible.
It happend to me once with a thread which was out of sight
for months.
But in any case The Carl did not read what was posted
only 17 hours earlier.

p.a.
That sounds right. I usually use the title from the source.
Like everyone else does. That's why such titles
(and the same content) are all over the net. :-)

Which is also why the two articles finished up in the same thread.
It's interesting to see that david's article has no entry for
'References' so it is not in the thread as the result of being the
answer to another article. I note also that both Jack Linthicum and
David use Google Groups so it is likely that Google Groups is
responsible for posting David's article as part of the thread started
by Jack.

Not in every reader it is part of the same thread.


> I also note that Jack's article has followed a different path
into my news server from that followed by David and this may explain
why David launched his without being aware that Jack had already
started the same thread.

Jack's post was there for over 17 hours.
