"Orphaned response" titles are generated by the notes software when a response
to a note comes in before the base note. This is very common over USENET since
it's so disorganized (which I like), but much less common when you have
tighter coupling in your networks.

Unfortunetly, you sometimes get the responses, but due to various traffic & net
problems, you never get the base note. That's annoying, but it's more a problem
with USENET than with notesfiles. (of course, the notes program could generate
a note of meaningles prose -- just as useless but nicer to look at :-) )
