Suddenly you have a misnamed subthread confusing everybody or annoy me. stupid servers mangling headers breaking threads so answers create new threads. Of course, those who use usenet servers for gentoo-ml are to be blamed for the second problem. Is there any good, valid reason to do so? -- #163933
