In the case of this thread, the start is beyond the maximum 500
(even 1000) posts that I have my newsreader set to fetch headers
for, so the previous discussion isn't visible. Unlike Google Groups
user's replies to thirty year old discussions, this probably isn't
equally disruptive to all readers. Some will fetch more headers (if
not expired on their news server), or keep previously downloaded
headers/posts, depending on their software and configuration.

This does prevent the frequently-seen issue on old forums where
some fool replies to a decades old thread, making it appear again
to readers who fail to notice the dates of earlier posts in the
thread, and who then respond themselves asking eg. why the OP is
using such old technology.
