For instance, if don't read an       echo for days, but different people write messages with true replies prior to       that at different times, the actual order of the messages in a thread are       connected to a parent message in the time order that people thus spoke.                     --- tg BBS v0.6.2        * Origin: Fido by Telegram BBS by Stas Mishchenkov (2:460/58)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 18/200 19/10 90/1 120/340 123/131 124/5016 154/10 203/0       SEEN-BY: 221/0 1 6 360 226/30 227/114 229/101 424 426 452 664 1016       SEEN-BY: 230/0 240/1120 2100 5138 5411 5832 5853 249/206 317 400 280/464       SEEN-BY: 280/5003 288/100 292/8125 310/31 317/3 320/219 322/757 342/200       SEEN-BY: 396/45 423/81 120 460/58 777 1124 5858 633/280 640/1138 1321       SEEN-BY: 640/1384 712/848 770/1 2454/119 5054/30       PATH: 460/58 640/1384 221/1 280/464 240/5832 229/426           |
