[Sussex] Starting a new thread

All

There appears to be a growing habit of people just hitting reply
to an existing SLUG e-mail and changing the subject to start a 
new thread.  It isn't common, but I would like to "nip it in the
bud."  Yes, I know it is easier than creating an alias to
sussex at mailmain.lug.org.uk but it can be a little annoying to
people who, like myself, sort their e-mail by thread.  The new
thread appears to be a following up so another and the two
threads get mixed together.

There is also the point that these e-mails are publicly archived,
and the new threads don't show up properly there either.

I am not point the finger any anyone in particular (I hope you
know who you are), but anyone wanting to find out can just view
one of the threaded views of this list[1].  I'm not looking for
an apology, just that you don't do it again.
