When people simply reply to a posting and then change the subject
line and add a new text, people wo are using threaded mail readers have
problems following. sb at airdelights.com was kind enough to do this twice
recently as a demonstration:

Authorize.net online checks
  Problem with adding parts to an item (<==)
  Re: Authorize.net online checks
    Quantity field on dynamic page help  (<==)

Top posters usually get flamed rather quick here, why not thread
hijackers as well ? For the same reason : It renders threads hard to
follow. And finding such a posting by sorting the subject line is also
impossible.

Thoughts ?
