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


Have not seen what you describe. Mt thread headers are fine. I
still have active kill filters, so maybe they are doing the job.
