| The problem is the thread sometimes has hundreds of posts and you might

In mutt you can find messages posted by yourself which have been replied
to. A quick '/~P~Q' (search for messages from me that have been replied
to) will find your message, and the replies are then immediately
available. Of course you will want to turn on "thread" view.

Mutt is mostly a mail reader, but it has an NNTP patch too.

During the Winter of '82-'83 I heard someone ask Kenny Roberts what he
thought of the Honda GP bikes.  Kenny said "Well, they're heavy, but
they're slow."  - roserunr at noller.com
