"No reference in article x" means that the article you try to find the
parent of, doesn't have a references header or a in-reply-to header.

"can't find article some-cryptic-id" means that the server doesn't know
anything about the article.  Are you offline when you try this?

I don't know.

I think the 'T s' command (gnus-summary-show-thread) is more what you're
looking for, than '^'.  Though it will have the same limitations with
respect to missing references as the '^' command does.

I don't understand what you mean by this.  Do you post the same message
to multiple groups?

> You scroll through every channel in which you;re interested?

I'm subscribed to the groups I'm interested, and when the Group buffer
shows me that a group has new articles, I enter that group.

If I have posted something I want to see the answer to, I go to my own
article when it first appears, and mark it with '?'.

Then it will be hidden the next time I enter the group, unless it has
been replied to, in which case the entire thread from the '?'-article to
the response will be displayed.

I also score up articles posted by me, so that they, and the threads
responding to them, will be displayed first when I enter a group.
