Ahh, that reminds me of another point I wanted to raise.


In general people should try to start new threads rather than recycle
old ones (unless specifically necessary).

I suspect this is contentious at this point, but I personally belive
this is the way to go.

If people align with my view, then you did the correct thing by starting
a new thread rather than using In-Reply-To. We'll see.
