They were talking about this on alt.usage.english. I think someone said
it had to do with a Google Groups app that doesn't quote by default.
Regular GG through a web browser does.

But the old thread thing is weird, and suddenly happening a lot. It was
always a bit of a problem. I don't know if the app is finding
"relevant" threads or something and presenting them to the users or
what.

Thanks for this explanation. I wondered why Google groups is to blame. I use GG and never see old threads.
