Sorry - totally off topic here, but you seem to do this a lot. I have
not been subscribed to these lists for very long, and haven't met any of
you but it is a little irritating and only Chris Johnson seems to do it.

Whenever you post you seem to be replying to the message you happened to
be reading but posting on another subject. Not all mail clients will do
this but Evolution orders threads according to the In-Reply-To: mail
header. All of your posts seem to be in reply to something even though
you are posting a new thread.

Maybe I am the only one using Evolution who threads topics from mailing
lists they are subscribed too. Maybe Evolution should improve it's
threading algorithm, but you could add the list to your address book and
post a new message.

I am honestly not trying to start a fight or anything - just a friendly
suggestion. No expert on netiquette, but it would seem to me to be bad
netiquette...

Hope I haven't offended any of you, but I felt it should be pointed out.
