As criticism it lost some of its impact when you top-posted the above, over a
quote of the whole of the post to which it refered. Whilst at the same time
ignoring this request,"When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is
more specific than "Re: Contents of Scottish digest..."".
Top posting worked just fine in that context due to the reply not
addressing any part of the post in particular.
Also, he replied to the individual email thus keeping the subject line
just as it should be. It is yourself that has replied incorrectly. The
part that you quote isn't even in the email that Andrew replied to, and
is only present in the digest version that you subscribe to.
I would suggest looking at the archives at
http://mailman.lug.org.uk/pipermail/scottish/2008-April/thread.html to
see how message threading is seen by those that subscribe to individual
messages.
