I'll mark some of the older text and hit delete. At that point you are 
hosed. The article disappears, and there's no obvious way to get it back.

Any recommendations for a different reader?

The Opera web browser has a nice newsreader. (Deleted items are sent to  
the trash, from where you can restore them.)

I think Thunderbird is decent as well, but I've never used it.

For the future, consider prefixing D-unrelated posts with [OT] per  
newsgroup netiquette.

IPersonally, I sign up for the mailing list and use that instead of the 
newsgroup. That way, I can use my e-mail client to read everything, and the 
state is synced between machines (since I use IMAP).

The discussion threads are stored as conversations (a neat feature of
gmail) and are tagged with a red "D" label, making them very easy to
work with.

Though gmail has a nasty habit of not sending your own messages to you (the 
ones that you send to the list), so it tends to screw up the threading. And 
since gmail's threads are linear, they don't handle the mesage hierarchy very 
well. I've always used a client on my machine which _is_ able to handle all of 
the threading correctly (or at least far better than gmail). And while I used 
to use gmail for the e-mail address (even if I didn't use it for reading any 
e-mail), I stopped due to issues like it not sending my own e-mails to me. I 
switched to gmx.com, which isn't quite a stable, but feature-wise it's much 
better IMHO.

Regardless, having an IMAP account and using the mailing list can work quite 
well - especially if you're trying to access the newsgroup on multiple 
computers and therefore have to worry about syncing between them.

Steve, a good alternative is what I use at the moment - KNode. Thunderbird 
is also a good choice for a newsgroups reader. I think Pan is okay as well.

I'm using Thunderbird. I've symlinked the News directory to dropbox to 
have it automatically synced.

I use opera too.  And it has been somewhat valuable for finding old posts.

I set opera to download all headers, and now I have instant search through  
headers and messages I've viewed.  Makes it easy to find bugs and old  
messages.
