Which would still require switching your name constantly. However..

That's a bummer.

I'm sure it does, and it does it fine. It's the broken threading of other software that makes you have to search more than necessary for a new post.

I almost wish there was a switch to disable threading and just list the messages in order like Golded does. At least then all your new messages would be in line and at the end of the list.

I run "hpt link" here, I'll give the -j switch a try but it probably won't matter much. It's not a fault of jamnntpd itself.

For example, I see well over 30 threads all named "Illegitimate President", some with "Re:" and some without. Also a bunch more where the "t" in President was removed.
