Heh! Maybe you see it differently! Your own post changed it again!

"Discussion subject changed to "The Dawlish book of quotes thread." by
Graham P Davis" - quote from what sits above your post, on my PC at
least! I don't think you meant to change the title for a minute,
Graham. Jim changed it back to what it had been (warm and settled at
10 days) - and said so - so I'm not sure what you mean by your comment
about it remaining the same since somone decided it's really good fun
to change it. Maybe you'd like to change it back too! I'm sure it's
just a quirk of usenet.


I guess when you've are more familiar with Usenet, you'll understand
Graham
did *not* change the subject. If you look at the headers of each post,
you'll see a line.

Subject: The Dawlish book of quotes thread.

That was in the headers of the post *you* made at 14.35 on the 3rd and
Graham's reply merely retained that header, and thus the subject. Your
main problem lies with using the Google interface to Usenet. Google
clearly doesn't thread properly as a proper newsreader does.

Here are the full headers of your post at 14.35

Note it even contains the IP address of your PC - 78.150.44.239, something
many would not be happy with.


LOL.

And I thought this thread was getting boring. :-)
