Confusion on nrpe

[Meyer, Bruce]

HiJacking a thread? What are you talking about? If I had maintained
someone's subject but changed the content, that is hijacking a thread.
Merely hitting 'reply' and deleting the subject and replacing it, deleting
the body and writing my own does not seem to me, to qualify as hijacking a
thread. That is creating a new thread, by changing the subject and body.
Or am I completely missing something? I do sort by thread on my machine
and my emails are perfectly sorted. Perhaps you should start sorting my
subject instead of X-header or whatever you are threading on now.

I would love to have learned something about what you are talking about,
but so far, you haven't explained a thing, merely complained.



If I want it further threaded, then it is grouped by the subject.  What on
earth are you threading by (and what amazing email client are you using)
that causes my repurposing an email the way I do to cause a problem,
X-Header attributes?

If you have a problem with a persons actions, You should have taken the
reply immediately offline, and not sent it to the group. You should also
explain why doing what I do causes a problem, and not assume that what I
do is intentional to cause a problem. Maybe I am not born with all
knowledge and experience in all things mailing list known to man, as you
apparently are. 

Some people try to teach and share knowledge. Since you insist, I will
continue here to we can all learn from your complaint and eventual
(hopefully) explanation as to how my process causes problems. BTW, You are
the first person ever to have mentioned that doing it this way is causing
a problem. I'll keep the thread here instead of taking it offline. This
way if anyone else does what I do, we can all learn why this causes a
problem. 

Maybe, we can get the owner of the mailing list to place a link or footer
in each posting that says what address to send emails to. Then people like
I who don't know, could just copy and paste that email address into new
emails instead of hitting reply and changing subject and body and letting
it fly. That is a fairly common thing in newsgroups postings, probably for
this exact reason.

I eagerly await your instructional and helpful reply.
