May i ask the people here not to hijack threads?

Ie do NOT press reply on a random mail and change the subject completely.
The better mail clients support threading which means that mails that
are a reply to another are sorted directly after that. Which gives a
convenient way to keep conversations together. This helps enormously
to read mailinglists with a many parallel discussions such as time-nuts.

If you now reply to a random message, then your mail ends up in a
completely unrelated discussion, and might be burried there between
other mails where noone looks.
Instead of replying to the mail, right-click on the email adress of the
mailinglist and select "compose mail to" (or what your mail client calls it).
This will create a new mail that does not reference any other mail and thus
will start a new discussion.

Thanks
