How to properly start a new thread vs. merely changing a subject line

Was not important to read on site once (stop reading by mail & you
will have less to complain about) let alone wasting another post on
fussiness.

Changing the text of the subject line has nothing whatsoever to do

with

it's position within a 'thread', which is actually determined from
header information which has nothing at all to do with what the

subject

line text is; that is to say, whenever someone uses the 'reply'

command

and then changes the subject line, the post will still appear

within the

same thread and in "reply" to the same former post.

I'd like to offer a suggestion to some folks who incorrectly

attempt to

start new subjects. When you want to start a new subject, you

should

_NOT_ use the reply command, but rather the 'compose' or equivalent
command that will start you out with a _BLANK_ subject line. This

is

because some folks tire of a thread and just mark the entire

thread --

which will thereafter automatically including any subsequent posts

to

that thread -- to be ignored; consequently, any supposed "new"

subjects

that actually appear incorrectly under such a former thread will

also be
