Try this. First made sure \home\yarn\config is set like so:

# default sort criterion for article selection list
# (one of arrival, subject, score,arrival or score,subject)
sort-by=score,subject

And set this so that you can see the scores until you're happy

# default display format of article selection list
# 0 = Subject, From
# 1 = Subject, From, Score
# 2 = Subject, From, Lines
# 3 = Subject
message-list-format=1

Then in the newsgroup score file:

999 Subject: re: Subject line of my post

To see just the follow ups first and assuming you have no scores higher
than 998. To see your post and the follow ups omit the re:

Another alternative would be:

999 References: <cdceyIcj1S6L090yn@image.dk>

This is message ID from your current post (see header) and you just grab
from your original post. A good cut and paste editor would be handy in
this case.
