I think sometimes people don't understand that if you reply to somebody's message, what you write is part of that thread. I know that years ago when I started emailing I didn't understand this at all. If you want to start a new topic and not hijack somebody's thread, it isn't enough to just change the subject line. You need to start a new email with your new subject rather than doing it as a reply to some other message to that list. I remember early on in my Internet experience having somebody really bawl me out for this and it was pure ignorance on my part. You can argue whether I should have known better, should have understood about threads on email lists, but I truly didn't. I did finally figure it out one day on my own, but I don't remember ever having it explained to me because it was assumed it should be obvious.

I hope this helps anybody who doesn't understand about threads. The other thing that often happens is that the focus of a thread does indeed change but people don't bother to change the subject line.

I tried and tried to turn over a new leaf.
I got crumpled wads of tear-stained paper
thrown in the trash!
Then God gave me a new heart and life:
His joy for my despairing tears!
And now, every day:
"This I call to mind,
and therefore I have hope:
The steadfast love of the Lord
never ceases;
his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness."
(Lamentations 3:21-23 ESV)
