Looking over the Wiki, I see this point was left out, so I added this text to the netiquette section. It’s a bit wordy, but I wanted users to understand why this is the preferred method. (since those who would do otherwise, obviously don’t understand the implications of disrupting threads)
"If posting a new topic or asking a new question, rather than replying, be sure to use your mail client's Compose, New Message, or Write button. This way your topic will be listed separately and easy to find. If you simply hit 'reply' and edit the subject line, other users' mail clients will treat your message as a reply in the chain of the topic you were replying to and the two topics will be mixed up together."
