behavior I don't understand (newbie question)

[Eric S. Johansson]

I'm trying to understand gnus and all of its features so please forgive some
of these questions if they are RTFM, it's a big manual. 

When I  bring up a newsgroup,  I started getting listings  for articles that
weren't there.  When I look with tin, the articles are there.  So I mark all
the messages as read, and then re-enter  the group in an attempt to read all
the old messages.   Once all of the old messages are  brought up, the thread
I was looking for no longer exists. 

what am I missing?

this behavior happens with pgnus-0.98 and gnus-5.8.2

I'm not sure I follow you here.  When you enter a group with
`C-u RET', do you not get all the messages in the group displayed?
