I know this sounds rather picky of me but PLEASE can people not start a
new topic by replying to an existing one and then changing the subject
and message text.

With the caveat that this be done only if one is actually starting a new
thread, not replying to piece of an old thread (as I'm doing here). In that
case, the common practice is to explicitly reference the old subject with
the first new message, and trim it in future replies, as I've done here.
But a new thread isn't started, because that loses the linkage in the
archives to what is being replied to.
