When you hit reply the message will contains headers that
indicate what message it's a reply to. Real mail/news programs
use that header information to sort messages into threads.
So the message that you intended to be a new thread actually
shows up buried down deep inside an existing thread even though
it has absolutely nothing to do with that thread.
The net result is that all the people who had decided to stop
reading that thread will never see your message.
