Please don't hijack existing threads (was: what is truth?)



Dear Ray,

On Fri, Oct 09, 2015 at 08:24:33PM -0700, Ray Andrews' mail contained
in its headers:
> Subject: what is truth?
> References: <20151009220942.GH12039@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
>         <151009160452.ZM5208@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
>         <4505.1444437453@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
>	  <20151010005939.GK12039@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
> In-reply-to: <20151010005939.GK12039@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

All these referenced mails had the subject '"2004h" at the end of each
prompt and "2004l" after pressing Enter on DragonFlyBSD console with
zsh 5.1.1'.

But your mail had _nothing_ at all to do with that thread.

So if you want to start a new thread or topic, please do _not_ just
reply to any mail on the same list and just change the subject. This
confuses other readers for no reason.

FYI: There is more legacy in such mails than just the subject and this
additional information makes it look like this in any threaded mail
reader:
