Ahh, mea culpa. I've gotten too spoiled by a newsreader that threads
the posts and lets you know what post follows which, and lets you
easily see the previous post. Hadn't realized that not all newsreaders
do this.

Some of us prefer to limit the number of visible posts to less than a few tens
of thousands in any group. That means that we may well not display read posts.
relevant quoting is considered polite behaviour.
