We do have one, see the bottom of the message.

When we see someone blatantly change the topic by reply, we use the
below template. However, for messages getting out of whack in view by
reference, I have noticed that from time to time, but don't know
exactly why it happens as I never really looked into the headers. I'll
start paying attention to that to see what I can come up with.

This moderator's interjection is a note to all readers and not just to
the person being replied to, even if their post may have instigated
this reply. Please don't feel singled out ken.

Please don't use reply to start a new thread. Your question has been
posted at the bottom of an unrelated topic. The Bat! is a threading
mail client.

See "View | View threads by | Reference" to see where it ended up.

The result is that it will only be seen by those reading that thread
instead of by all users.

I recommend that you post your question again using a "New message"
if you want to see more replies to your query.

</moderator>
