Wrong. If the content differs substantially, a new topic should be
open, and not pollute the original thread. Well unless you enjoy
reading mixed content threads, which might be your own special
preference, but probably not the one of the common newsgroup reader.

And you were the one complaining that changing the subject line breaks threading in some newsreaders.

Threads drift. That is a fact of life. Live with it..

You are trying to be right no matter what, right ?
It reminds me of someone... But hey, we were originally talking about
Randall Hyde editing his subject with /// in front : how is that
considered a thread drift ?

It isn't, but this thread drifted into considering the general case of changed subject lines.

It was a demonstration, as I explained. Further, the subject
line "One another trick" is meaningless.

You are supposed to snip signatures when replying.

When you read the content of the original post, the subject is well
fitting the content Betov gave to his post.
And your demonstration was a bit useless, except if it was a
demonstration for yourself, about your ability to pollute threads on
your own, following Randall Hyde "example" ?

Oh well, it's funny that you are talking about having "courtesy" being
the one who pollutes this thread with unrelated things; Guess you
should follow your own advices before anyone will follow them, if they
are of any relevancy of course ;-)

I generally dislike it when this is done publicly, but you have shown yourself to be a special case, so ...

*plonk*
