I do see the new [parent] article.  My client is configured to open a 
new tab on the other newsgroup.

If I chose to, I would move the parent article into the newsgroup I am 
in (and I would know that the parent article had not appeared there).

Of course -- it reads the Newsgroups header.  It is smart that way.
It never misleads me about which newsgroup the parent article is in.

A new tab opens on the other newsgroup, with the retrieved article 
selected.
