It's not just me then.  I'm using Thunderbird on Windows Vista to view 
the group via gmane, and notice the earlier parts of a thread can show 
up hours or even days after the later ones.  Would something who 
understands these things be kind enough to explain why this happens, or 
at least provide the keywords needed for google, as I haven't got a clue 
where to start.
