I don't normally keep too much of an eye on exactly *when* the Posts
come in,

Neither do I, but I left the computer about 19:55 to eat/watch Mastermind &
UC. When I came back there were *no* new messages.

cos I know that NNTP Newsgroups aren't *supposed* to be
"Instant" & the idea is that people can dip in & out whenever they
want, to see what's been Posted over a period of time (hours or
days even - rather than just in the last few minutes) & I usually have
my Message List View Set to show the Threads (with the Messages in
Date/Time order within those Threads)...

Mine threads by reference, i.e. each sub-thread appears as a linked group
rather than interleaved with any other sub-thread which may have been posted
in the same period.
