Tom,
Sounds like you're using the newsgroup version of the list, which
is what I use. I noticed that there were two replies to that post
"by themselves", but the rest were under the original message. I
checked it out, and what happened was that the original message was
actually posted mid-way through the "check out my new website" thread
by Chad Evans.
My guess is that you marked that thread read, and that also caused
the original "need to vent" post along with about 5 replies to
dissapear.
I have noticed posts being put under the "wrong" threads before.
I'm not 100% sure what is happening, but I suspect that when some folks
create a new post, they reply to an existing message and chang the subject
instead of actually sending out a fresh, new post. This will cause it to
reference whatever post they have replied to and it will get stuck in
that thread, instead of creating a new one.
