For whatever reason, his newsreader is not generating "References"
headers, and that breaks threading. He's not the only one here with
that problem. "James Harris is Nuts" also seems to have no references
headers.

Both of them have the same headers here:

X-Mailer: Nonpareil
X-Nonpareil-parent: 614047
X-To: post-sci-math@mathforum.org
X-Nonpareil-discussion: sci.math

According to Webster's, "nonpareil" means "without peers". There has
to be a joke in there somewhere. I think I'm too literal to tease it
out.
