after searching the net for a while, i'm starting to wonder if there is
a solution.

according to this:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3896877/how-to-fetch-already-read-articles-into-summary-buffer-in-gnus

you can 

1. get the parent of an article with ^ 
2. get the part of the thread
that's still on your server (not quite sure what that means) with A T
3. get lots of stuff but not specific to the thread with / o

therefore, i don't see anyway to examine a specific thread unless you go
to the web. yet i think this should be possible because how else can we
check back on various parts of a discussion from within gnus?
