[...] They are displayed on adjacent lines in the summary buffer. Okay, so the settings of two variables are important: gnus-summary-thread-gathering-function and gnus-summary-make-false-root. Further improvement can be had by fiddling with the fuzzy and subject simplification thingies. Somebody in a German newsgroup continues to claim that setting gnus-thread-ignore-subject to nil is a useful thing to do in the above context. But of course, it isn't. Does something different entirely. Now I'll go back and try to explain again. Thanks, kai -- I like BOTH kinds of music.
