That is, I want it to appear twice in the Group Buffer and for the two instances of it to behave independently. Is there a way to do this? I realise that I could do this by subscribing to the group from two different news servers, but this particular group is only on one server, as far as I know. The scenario is that I have just subscribed to a group and I want to catch it up to the beginning of this month and thereafter read messages as they come in. (That part is pretty standard, I guess.) But I also eventually want to read all 60 000-odd messages posted to the group since 2002, so I want another "copy" of the group that isn't caught up that I can gradually read forward in time. Does anyone have any suggestions how to do this? Thanks.
