Hello, I've seen this subject before, but never really got any answer. PHP have news server at news.php.net but it is 'always' down and it is only a mailing list mirror, so some messages get lost or get 'out of thread'.

I've never had any problems with news.php.net being down or loosing messages. As for 'out of thread', that is usually due to the person's email/newsreader client not replying correctly to a thread. Curt

Same for me, I've used the newsgroup interface for quite a while now and it's never been "down" or lost messages on me. It's likely that the "out of thread" thing is a difference between your newsgroup client's threading code and your mail readers threading code. Some programs (such as mutt) can also use subject matching for threads while most others only use headers.
