Why all the double-postings?

[Henrik Klippstr?m]

Does anyone know why the amount of weird double-postings here has
increased? Like when threads are split... Replies to a deck or
report-thread comes in a separate thread. It愀 damn annoying.

[LSJ]

The double-postings result from new-user mistakes or from
server "glitches" (that trick old users, making them look
like new users :-).

Orphaned replies sometimes result from changing the subject
line. Some newsreaders, like Outlook Express, will do this
(as part of the "think for you" plan) -- like removing the
leading "Q:" of "Q: My Question" (thinking that it is some
foreign equivalent of "Re:", I suppose) -- but most news
readers can see through subject line changes (and present
the thread intact whenever the "References:" line is
correct).

Now, if a newsreader malforms (or omits) the "References:"
header, then there's little to be done to maintain the
thread.
