I don't think there was any bad intent in the changed email, but the
point is that if the OT message was posted this way it will probably
happen again.
Email message headers contain a thread-index number. Any decent email
program groups the messages into threads using this (normally hidden)
information. If you hit REPLY this thread information is put into the
new message header; changing the subject field does not start a new
thread. You need to write a new message, not hit reply, or your message
may start an off-topic chain that does hijack the original thread.
We all make mistakes, but if no one points out the problem it probably
will continue.

Hey Joe...
I don't know that he really hijacked it or intended to, as he did change the
subject line. He apparently just slipped up and left your message text in
his new topic message.
I agree that hijacking or piggybacking or whatever name it gets makes it
hard to search the archive, which is what makes the idea of threads valuable
here.
We all make mistakes at times. It only becomes bad manners when the same
mistake is committed repeatedly or intentionally.

It's recommended to start your own thread, rather than hijack someone
else's. Having totally irrelevant questions tacked on to an existing
thread is very confusing and considered bad manners.
