hey I just noticed something. Google fucks up discussion threads.
WOKKA has made a post with the subject "Cool Power", on 1st Feb.. You should
see it about 20 rows below this one.
If you browse this NG through Google, via this link:

http://groups.google.co.uk/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&group=rec.models.rc.hel
icopter

You can see that the same thread shows 23 articles, because there was a
thread with the same subject, from about a year ago.

bizarre. I guess it's because there's no relational information with the
posts to describe their relationship with other posts, and the NG
clients/browsers must just go off the subject line to group things
together... and google has lots of messages there.

seems crazy to me though
