If there's an article you want to respond to, here's a strategy
you can use to read other articles on the subject before you post your
response.

1. Leave the article by typing `l' (the letter el).

2. Read all articles with that subject.

3. Read other articles in the newsgroup with related subjects.

4. When you are finished with that newsgroup you will be asked
   whether you want to view the "left over articles."  If you want to
   respond now, type `y'.  If you answer `n' the article will be
   flagged with plus (+) or equals (=) and kept for the next
   session.

5. When you are ready to respond, type `f' to followup in news or
   type `r' to reply in mail.
