Which is possible because the messages are sorted linearly in the
computer!

When you do a newnews command in NNTP, you tell it a time, not
a thread. Then it grabs everything since that time, and you know
they are new.


Hmmm.... that's an idea though. If it plopped down a "last checked"
time cookie or url param, it could bold the new things on the web too.
