This is because you are using the web interface to these newsgroups,
which is awful. If you use a real newsreader, you won't have the
problem of "buried postings". Here is information to help you with
that, including explanations.
Since you are using the web interface, you may not realize that this is
really a newsgroup. You will get far more out of this resource if you
learn to use a newsreader. There are many good newsreaders for Windows,
but you can use Outlook Express since you already have it. Here are
some links to information about newsgroups:
