It will obviously only insert a thread if the message is a thread starter. Out of the 200 messages only a handful will be thread starters. The rest will be replies.

Also, a reply will only be inserted if it's parent exists. Otherwise it's inserted into the usenet_article table until it's parent shows up. When you see 'finding replies...' on the screen, the script is looking in this table for replies to messages that have just arrived.

After you have been ran the script a few times the numbers will look make more sense.
