Nothing to add re: your note, but...

Next time please avoid hijacking a thread.  You apparently hit reply to 
an existing message, then replaced the subject line with your own, 
starting a new topic.  The problem is, the reference headers still point 
to the message you replied to as your message parent, so it appears in 
the same thread in clients designed to thread based on those headers (the 
purpose for them, after all), so your message ends up hijacking the 
original thread, starting an entirely different subject under it.

The better alternative is to always start a /new/ post (not a reply to an 
existing post) when you intend to start a new thread.  That way, it /is/ 
a new thread, having no reference headers to existing messages.

Thanks in advance. =8^)
