This is off subject, but is there a reason that people in this news
group don't reply to the original message so that there is a thread for
the original question rather that sending a new messafe each time with
an "Re:" subject.

In my experience it makes it much easier to follow the responses and
maintain continuity for each subject as opposed to having to search down
the list for ht enext"Re:" that concerns the thread you are trying to
follow.
