| Using Thunderbird it appeared to be a new thread, the same applies to |
| 24 |
| the GMail web interface. However, on closer inspection of the message |
| 25 |
| header, it does appear to be a case of thread hijacking. My mistake, and |
| 26 |
| I would retract my previous comments regarding the matter. I instead |
| 27 |
| wish to resubmit my response on thread hijacking: |
| 28 |
| |
| 29 |
| Thread Hijacking is bad, don't do it. |

Just a small point here. Mozilla Thunderbird has a threaded view option that |
| 34 |
allows you to view entire threads, without regard to the subject line, so it is |
| 35 |
thread aware - you just have to set the right options. Viewing it that way, it |
| 36 |
is clear to see that the message in question, was a case of thread hijacking. |
| 37 |
Is it the crime of the century? No. Is it something people want to see on a |
| 38 |
mailing list like this? No. |

Everyone makes mistakes, and it is can be good to point them out, though I do |
| 41 |
think this thread is a bit of overkill - a private message to the person who |
| 42 |
made the mistake is usually enough. |

Just my $0.020000000000001 |
