Exhell,
I guess you are using the web interface to this news group.

If you use a proper news reader (OE or Agent), you can mark those thread
that interest you and/or ignore those that don't.
In terms of time zones, a good reader will adjust all to your local time.

Try using the product that was designed for the job.

Why can't you assign an identifying sequence number to messages? Once
posted, because there are so many, and because there is such an
unpredictable
delay in when they are finally posted, as well as time zone differences,
it
is usually impossible to return to them to see if anyone has responded.
They
are simply impossible to find. Have you ever thought about instituting
basic usability testing for your products? In this case, it would have
revealed this serious problem.
