Agreed. Also, new threads should not be renamed replies to other threads, because some smart email clients are not fooled by subject changes, and the new thread is hidden in the original.
I often do this when there's a more or less slight change of topic within the same thread. That, of course, doesn't create a new thread (and that isn't even my intention in those cases), but email clients that make it look otherwise are probably too old or not sophisticated enough for use with mailing lists.
Incidentally, I find the list much more valuable with the contrasting contributions from Yugo, Cude, and Lomax, than when it becomes an echo chamber of agreement.
I'd agree, but the volume of posting especially from Mary Yugo of the same arguments over and over again is unsustainable. It makes the group hard to follow (especially when those long threads get split multiple times by users with faulty email clients).
Cheers, S.A.
