For those who are concerned about "hijacking", I suggest, as I have 
suggested before, that they volunteer to update the guidelines.

In the meantime, I suggest that more sophisticated email readers be set 
to follow threads by subject line when reading this list.  If they do 
not have that capability, it seems they might be different, but not 
necessarily more sophisticated.

That isn't now email works.  There are well defined standards that
clients such as Outlook, Thunderbird, etc. follow when told to "sort by
thread/conversation".  Embedded in an email header is the message to
which it is a reply.  Merely changing the subject line does not affect
this in any way.  This is not something specific to this mail list.  It
is an adopted internet mail standard which has existed for decades.
