Yes. Changing the Subject field, while retaining the References field, is how we make threads continue uninterrupted across a change of topic. Sadly, this standard method is both unfamiliar to a lot of forum users, and (reportedly) disrupts regressively buggy forum interfaces like Google Groups which have a stupid broken implementation of threads. The solution IMO is to discard Google Groups as irretrievably broken, but I don't have much hope for that. Meanwhile I advocate using the full features of Usenet and encouraging as many as possible to use proper clients. -- \ “I was once walking through the forest alone and a tree fell | `\ right in front of me, and I didn't hear it.” —Steven Wright | _o__) | Ben Finney
