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.

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 believe you are correct. I have recently change to motzarella.org from
comcast/giganews. When I looked at the full threads from motzarella the
ends of many threads end with a spam heading. After the spam heading
their are no longer any postings from that thread. So maybe I am missing
postings that are found on other servers?
Come to think of it, I never did see this problem from Comcast/Giganews.
So one gets what he pays for. Time to look at other servers.
So THANK YOU John for pointing out the error of my ways.
Still, This posting might be useful for others using Motzarella.
If others using Motzarella does not have this problem, my newsreader
maybe incompatible with Motzarella.
Thanks Again ... Dan
Back Again ....
It was indeed my newsreader that was corrupt. I will fix it.
SORRY about the posting. I of all people should have done greater
diagnosing. So please ignore this header. I have a feeling many ignore
my postings anyway, they are the smart ones
Enjoy Life ... Dan
