No. You continued the on the same thread, but replied with a different
subject & that's thread hijacking.

You then "hijacked" the thread by changing the subject and replied to
Lee's post:

It doesn't matter if you are a list or nntp newsgroup user. Please don't
hijack other people's threads. If you want to start a thread, just start
a new one... *don't* use another thread/msg to start your own. If you
are using a list, just start a new msg and address it to
support-seamon...@lists.mozilla.org.
