The problem with pointing it out privately is that that doesn't
educate anyone else - thus it's more work to point it out privately to
the next person, and the next, and one has to continue suffering
hijacked threads in the meantime.
I think this thread appears "overkill" because I used ALL-CAPS in the
subject, which has propagated to the replies. I won't do that again in
the future, and apologise if this has led some of you to believe I was
having a go at the original hjacker. I was perhaps terse in my
request, but did not intend to be rude.
Stroller.
To be honest I never had a look at if I was the orignal hjacker or not
... think I was, or at least have done it in the past
But anyways, never thought anyone has a go on me, just glad I know a bit
more about how to compose new messages, to make everyone happy :-)
(Just to take this further; you good argue that the mail clients is
using a wrong method of detecting these threads, cause it depends on the
users' habits. I guess most of us choose the reply-button, cause it'
easier than having to look-up the email address. But yeah things are
like they are, and I'll use the compose button from now on, so everyone
is happy :), hope others is following my lead...)
