If you are like me one tends to mark their subject headers to all read.
The next time you look for the subject header "###", you think there
are no responses. Therefore ending the thread to the topic, no responses.
I have found this to be the case with many of the postings here on
rec.gardens newsgroup. In the past spammers seemed to always create a
new header, not change old ones.
If you have posted a new posting, others may not know of it because a
spammer has changed the subject header thread.
I find this very troublesome!
I will repost this if a spammer changes my subject header.
Enjoy Life ... Dan
It is far more likely that your news reader or server are corrupted in some
way. I have checked on two major servers (Easynews and AT&T) using two
different readers and see nothing out of the ordinary with the threads you
named.

I'm in the UK and look on rec.gardens via a newsgroup and via Gardenbanter. I have to say, it's the Wild West of forums. All sorts of stuff (including porn) pops up from time to time and the ads are a pain in the arse. At present I'd just like Amy Zhou, who is all over everywhere like a rash, to **** off back into a hole somewhere.
