That's my pet hate too.  I have Thunderbird set-up to thread the list 
and it is annoying when people hijack a thread for something totally 
unrelated.  Topics such as 'XYZ {was ABC)' I can live with as they are 
extending a current discussion but 'How to create a robotic Tux' 
suddenly morphing into 'Anyone want to buy a cat?' is annoying.  Yes 
that is fictional as I didn't want to appear to pick on anyone by 
choosing an actual example :)

Kind regards,

Julian
