Thread hijacking is considered bad netiquette and you'll get bashed for it on other lists. I've been a programmer for over 20 years and have been using email and online clients for that long. I think I might know a little about how these things work. I've mentioned the thread hijacking many times before on this list. And it didn't meet with much enthusiasm then either. Some of the other programmers felt it was a bug in Yahoo as other lists will start a new thread once the topic changes. What happens is that some folks with multiple emails can't remember which one they are using for this group. I remember mine. So they just do a reply and then change the subject.
As for being condescending, well that is just your misperception, newmo.
