Hello,
A common anoying problem of this mailinglist is thread hijacking.
from Wikipedia
Thread hijacking (or "threadjacking") in online communication is the
act of composing a new mail to a email mailing list, internet forum
or
newsgroup by replying to an existing message with un- or
barely-related
content, rather than composing a new message from scratch. In the
worst
case, the threadjacker fails to even change the Subject: line.
Harms from threadjacking result from
* disruption to email clients that display discussions in a
hierarchical, or threaded, fashion. An email client usually
cannot
do content analysis of messages to make this determination;
rather,
it relies upon an In-Reply-To: header field that records the
Message-ID of the respondee. Thus a threadjacked message is mixed
into the tree of an unrelated thread, rather than in a new one.
* degradation to search. Email clients often default to searching
* the
Subject: line, rather than the more voluminous bodies of
messages.
An attempt to search for a message with contents very different
from its Subject: will then be thwarted.
Threadjacking is generally considered a breach of netiquette and can
cause ill feelings among other participants in the discussion.
