Every newsreader I've ever used, deletes (or at least hides) articles
after I read them. If I read a post today, and someone responds
tomorrow I'll have no idea what exactly the second person is replying
to
if they remove all the text.

I use NewsPro which has options for saving the old ones. Outlook
Express saved the old ones too, maybe there was an option to delete
them. Newspro also automatically deletes all the replies to a message
I delete explicitly. There's a free version and a subscription
version. They both work fine.
