Let me ask you - is this a new thread as well, by the way?

You didn't answer! Tell me, Eric - did I create a new thread? Why won't you answer?

Eric Stevens
As far as I am concerned, you broke the thread.

Sandman
So, did I create a new thread? That's the question. The question above, that starts with "Let me ask you", was that an entirely new thread to you?

Eric Stevens
Is 'breaking the thread' a new concept to you?

Sandman
Yep! I don't know how one "breaks" a thread.

Eric Stevens
You changed the subject from:

Re: Will Tony apologize?? (was: Re: Colonial Photo & Hobby) to: Will Tony apologize? (was: Re: Colonial Photo & Hobby)

Sandman
Well, it was the other way around.

Eric Stevens
,,, by removing the "Re: " and also one "?".

Sandman
Incorrect. I did not remove the "Re: ", and I *added* a question mark, I didn't remove one.

Eric Stevens
With the way I have Agent configured (did you actually look at that URL?), it recognised that the subject had changed and set it up as a new thread. You will be pleased to know that it maintained the current (truncated) list of references.

Sandman
I'm not asking how Agent *displays* it, I am asking you if adding one question mark to the subject line "creates a new thread" according to YOU. One small character, full references and "sequence" or articles it follows and the exact same subject (i.e. meaning) but with one added character.

Is that a new thread to you?

Oh, and please answer my related post as well - where I responded to a post of yours, removed your text and the References header and KEPT the subject line as-is. According to you, that should NOT be a new thread, since it retains the exact same subject line - which according to you is the only metric to determine whether a new thread has been created or not. So the question is - if it's part of an old thread, which post is it in response to?
