Two ways to do this come to mind: (a) Simply check forward through the newsgroup looking for an article that references the current one. (b) Check forward through the newsgroup for an article that references the current one _and_ includes a user-supplied string. The idea is to prevent hundreds of answers to simple queries (a major problem as we all know). //Is he going to pop into his DeLorean again?// -- Scott
