Replying to threaded messages (noting the REFERENCE header)

Because I'm not so technical to be able to display such newsgroups as  
misc.writing and/or alt.creative in Opera, I settle for browsing the  
message boards on google groups. HOwever, when I decide to post a message,  
I open up a compose window and enter the full name of the newsgroup in the  
NEWS field. That usually works. However, I have problems replying to  
messages that are made within a particular subject somewhere in the middle  
of the thread. It always happens that, as long as I enter the same SUBJECT  
title in the SUBJECT field, the message will fall into place in the proper  
place. But what it doesn't do is fall into place within the string of  
replies within a subject. Is there something I can do when I'm addressing  
a messages as a reply to a reply to a subject so that my message appears  
in place under the heirarchy of message replies?

You don't need to be technical to do that, it is not hard to set up a news  
account. You can use Opera's news server news.opera.com for the Opera  
newsgroups, and your ISP might offer a newsserver for general newsgroups.

That is something that Google Groups would have to add I think.
