You are right here Jacopo, Thunderbird does that here for instance. It seems your email client does not and would then base threads on subjects not on emails sources.

I think though Michael is right about creating a *new email* (to not keep the 
underneath source of the email I responded to)
So I agree I should have created a new email for the new"OFBiz specific rules on lazy consensus" thread (because of email clients like Thunderbird which base threads on emails sources)
And not answer in the "[VOTE] Put the Flatgrey theme in Attic]" thread by just 
changing the subject.

I'm the first chastised. Because, as explained Michael, I'll eventually have to 
count the votes since I started them :/

BTW: I also answered to Scott that I see no problems to have these votes 
running for a week.

Hi Michael,

from what I see, the discussions are happening in a different thread that
Jacques started with subject: "OFBiz specific rules on lazy consensus [was
Re: [VOTE] Put the Flatgrey theme in Attic]"

I suspect that some mail clients may group them together under the same
thread, causing some confusion.

Fellow contributors,

please stop going offtopic or hijacking a vote thread with discussions of
other topics.

A vote thread is meant to collect votes and should contain -1, 0, +1,
(maybe some remark on why the vote is cast as it is) only, to make it
readable and help the vote owner to evaluate the results easily and without
errors. Direct responses to a vote thread should only me made regarding the
vote itself (like false votes).

Every discussion resulting out of a vote thread can easily be started with
a new mail, a clear new subject and a "was: <vote thread subject>".

Thanks,
Michael
