The opening salvo came out of your popgun defense of your repeated error. It does take some audacity to claim you didn't "open" it when it's in a thread you opened.
Why can't you READ? Why is it so hard for you?? My first post in this thread was not part of any "debate", moron.
The thread is "Will Tony apologize? (was: Re: Colonial Photo & Hobby)", and you initiated it.
It's the same thread. I just changed the subject line. Changing the subject line doesn't create a new thread. How ignorant are you??
Actually, it does. The clue is in "was". It is not what is was. It is something new.
The subject is not what it was, but the thread is the same. You really are slow to understand these things. I'm sure you'll find a way to argue about this for weeks as well.Tony CooperSandman
I don't know how your newsreader presents the threads, but mine places this new thread far removed from the "was" thread.
So you have a broken news reader. It doesn't become a new thread just because one of its readers have a broken news reader, Andreas.Tony CooperSandman
Anyway, the whole idea of changing a subject line is to re-direct the conversation to something new. So, a new thread.
No, same thread, new topic. "thread" says nothing about content.
If you go as far back as even RFC 850 you will find:
"The Subject line (formerly "Title") tells what the article is about. It should be suggestive enough of the contents of the article to enable a reader to make a decision whether to read the article based on the subject alone. If the article is submitted in response to another article (e.g., is a "followup") the default subject should begin with the four characters "Re: " and the References line is required. (The user might wish to edit the subject of the followup, but the default should begin with "Re: ".)
No one even thought that someone might want to continue the thread but with a different subject. You change the subject - you start a new thread. --
