Subject: [gentoo-user] Don't start a new thread by changing the subject
Date: Fri, 24 Jun 2011 16:12:26 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4E0519DA.9030105@badapple.net> (raw)
I've noticed this a couple of times this week. A few of you have
responded to the annoying Fortran thread, changed the subject, started a
new message, and sent the email starting a new thread.
Because you responded to an existing thread you are not creating a new
thread and thus and reducing the size of the audience that reads your
email. Specially I'd have responded to "open source monitoring on
gentoo", but since I deleted the Fortran thread in its boring entirety I
didn't even see it until I saw a response further down the chain today.
Whoever started Fbsplash did the same thing.
