As I recall, that is part of teh design of the FAQ autoposter, and its
suposed to make them all arear as one thread.

As I recall, when you post you have to refernce the postings to gether to
get them ta all post at once, and then there is a master posting, and the
"slave postings" that go out at the same time. If you make each part a
"master" it will not have the refernce, but of course, the FAQ might go
out a two separate days. (I think YMMV et al)
