I've been using Free Agent since 1993 and I ain't changing now. Maybe
I'll downgrade to X-News instead.

uhhh, yeah it is. Try it. Don't tell me it isn't.

Your post is a new thread. Check the full headers; if there is no
references: header available, as is the case in your post, the posting
starts a new thread. At least this is what the usenet standard says;
so most standard compliant newsreader *do* present you posting as a
start of a new thread.

It's a Agent configuration thing. Somewhere in the options, it lets you
decide wether to arrange the threads by Subjects or if it should take
the only reasonable approach, namely threading by references.
Going the "thread by subject"-approach can and obviously will lead to
new threads being presented as a subthread of an already present thread
with the same subject. As has been demonstrated.

Yea, that's what I've done. Pressed some key that has reconfigured it
to display this way. Now to find that damn option. That's the problem
with Agent, it has a ton of options and remembering them all sometimes
gets confusing.
