Newsgroup messages get a so-called "message ID", and each reply to them 
*must* mention (in the headers under "references:") at least the last three 
in line (great-grandfather, grandfather, father), but normally has a few 
more.  Those are used to group messages together (in their correct order!), 
not the subject lines and timestamps.

IOW, you can change the subjectline and the post will still be part of the 
thread.

Just look at "Kenny McCormack"s message from 31 Jan 2025 22:24:43 UTC named 
"The 'label' command (Was: Clever helpful suggestion for portable memory 
using Windows &)".  Its still part of the thread, even though the 
subjectline changed considerably.

:-)  They definitily would *not* want that, as that would make you look as 
if you would be sitting at a desk in their company, connected to their local 
network, bypassing their firewalls.

Besides, its /those servers/ which impose the geo-blocking (because of their 
own choice or forced by agreements with other parties or by their 
gouverment).  If you connect directly to them they would still be able to 
see your IP - which is all they need to determine that you are connecting 
from outside their geo-blocking boundary, and would kick you out.
