Dear Mr. Troll/Idiot,
He changed the subject line but he did not start a new thread.
Anyone reading the list in a threaded view sees his subject in the
same thread as the original subject. To start a new subject you need
to send a new message rather than replying to a previous message and
just changing the subject. People refer to this as hijacking a
thread.
We've had this discussion before. The guidelines for this list
suggest changing the subject line. That's what he did.
I don't see any such recommendation; if this is true it would be very
non-standard. Could you provide a reference please.

I suppose by non-standard you mean unfamiliar to you. It is, in my
experience, standard.
Here's the quote from the page you reference yourself.
"Stay on topic
When the context of the message changes, be sure to change the subject
line, or your mail may not be read by many subscribers."
