   Ok, is this one properly threaded?

   Ok, well, I can't click "compose" on comp.lang.c,   
   and in alt.os.development I can click "compose"   
   but last time I tried that I was asked to do a   
   captcha thing and then nothing happened. So I don't   
   want to waste my time fighting that anymore. I have   
   a news reader to write! And especially to get it to   
   fit into the Fidonet style, which is why there is an   
   "X-Comment-To".

   The one you clarified - I am required to provide a   
   "References", but not a "In-Reply-To".

   No problem, since I have no intention of implementing   
   it anyway. :-)   
      
   However, I do intend to, and I believe I have, done   
   the "References", so now that I know there is an issue,   
   and now that I know the rules, I will hopefully do the   
   right thing going forward.
