Either you simply forgot a smiley or I don't get it. Of cause there
are
mail threads. What do you think In-Reply-To and References in the mail
header were invented for?
Yes, there are those wannabe MUAs such as Outlook, Groupwise and Notes
that constantly ignore the existence of In-Reply-To, but that's a
different story.
My apologies. I forgot that you can thread emails on KMail.
All decent mail programs do thread. Thunderbird, Mozilla, Kmail, even text
only clients like Pine or mutt. Gmail web client does thread, but it calls
it "conversations".
And the archive is threaded.
Even Outlook does thread:
X-Mailer: Microsoft Office Outlook 12.0
Thread-Index: AchZxUFbeX4hpExoQh2zru0l/TqnbgAAC2AA
Although being Microsoft, it uses something else instead of the standard.

You'll notice that when he started a thread with
that topic, he got answers to his question.
Whereas in this hijacked branch, he got NO answers
to his question.

Since you deliberately, to act stupid, I'll bet you're right.

In short - No.
Mail list rules are needed. Even as far back as 30 years
ago, experience shows that even when the entire membership
consists of highly competent doctorate level computer
engineers and scientists, without such rules, the list
falls rather quickly into complete chaos.
