The worst is deleting the subject of an existing thread altogether to start a
new one, which I call hijacking and should be considered a federal crime ;-)
Thanks for your rant Nathan :-)

Sujet : [OM] An annoying habit from the Oly list is now also infecting the LUG
One of my pet peeves with mailing lists is when people who want to post a
picture or whatever do not start a new thread but simply reply to a message on
an existing thread. This has long been an annoyance on the Olympus list, but
now I am beginning to see it more and more on the Leica list as well (perhaps
not surprising, given the overlap between the two lists).
I am in the habit of almost automatically deleting any thread with a subject
line that does not interest me, and also any thread with more than 20-30
messages, since that usually indicates heavy thread drift or a food fight,
neither of which interest me. If someone has posted a masterpiece in the middle
of such threads, I simply will not see it.
So, please, if you have something NEW to share, create a new thread!
Cheers,
Nathan
