Yes.  This is a problem with how Google wrote the software for Google
Groups.  They apparently assign their idiot programmers to the
project, or people so young and/or ignorant that they have no idea how
a news group nor an email list is meant to work.

It shouldn't be this way.  You should be able to hit "reply" and just
change the subject but poor programming defeats what "ought to be".

The result, for us the users, is that you really need to start a brand
new email, or go to the Google Groups web interface and start a new
thread.
