The high number for "bunker" and many of the fidonet sites listed
are the result of the misc.handicap newsgroup (the Handicap News).
The majority of the articles in this newsgroup originate from other
networks, such as the BITNET mailing list L-HCAP, the Fidonet
ABLED conference and 5 or 6 other Fidonet conferences, and a few
other small networks that are linked in manually.  It is just
not feasible to put "References" lines in these articles.

I would think that any software that is going to use the References
line would also require some sort of alternate method such as the
one that "rn" uses where the message thread is based upon the
Subject line.
