When replying to threads on email lists, it would really help if you would either quote relevant parts of the message you're replying to, or leave the "Subject:" line intact.
When you change the "Subject:" line for a reply, _and_ don't quote, it makes it difficult or impossible to know what/whom you're replying to.
Not every list subscriber reads every posting in the list; I typically get over 4,000 emails per day, so I have to be a bit selective.
