My newsreader does not have the "reconstruct thread" feature. By reasonable
deduction, I believe the ghost msg is "Crafters Needed" since I only saw it when Bob
replied to it. It does not appear in my view of the rec. msgs . Considering the
topic, I would not be interesting in it in any event. I will just forget about it.

It sounds like the message index for the group which is stored on your computer has
become corrupted. This can often be corrected by:
1. Unsubscribe from the group.
2. Clear your news reader's cache (both memory and disk).
3. Re-subscribe to the group.

It's also possible the message has expired, depending upon how long/much
the server wants to keep things hanging around.
One can always go to groups.google.com and search for the thread ...

It happens to me about once a year. Does your newsreader have the
"reconstruct thread" feature like Xnews does?

News providers have been known to expire *everything* after a system
problem and start from scratch.
