I think that is a tad inappropriate, when it's been pointed out it's most likely a bug in gmail causing it. You can always create a filter in your email client of choosing if you don't want to see what, the two(?) threads that are active atm.

I won't speak for him, but I think Richard was venting more than making a serious threat. Assuming this is indeed unintentional, nobody has anything to worry about. Austin On Fri, Dec 4, 2015 at 11:12 AM, K. Peachey <p858snake(a)gmail.com> wrote:

I was venting and I had had a drink or two. I think any reasonable correspondent can change the subject line. So I was sort of serious, Richard. On Fri, Dec 4, 2015 at 9:51 PM, Austin Hair <adhair(a)gmail.com> wrote:

If a respondent changes the subject, It splits the thread off to yet another thread (for those in a threaded client) which in my personal view is even more disruptive. Each to their own I guess. On 4 December 2015 at 21:32, Richard Ames <richard(a)ames.id.au> wrote:

Yes, until people start getting put on moderation (even if the cause is the list admin being under the influence .......... unless that was also a joke). Regardless, if we dislike it to that extent how about setting a content filter via mailman so that such items are held for mod or discarded. I don't think immediate threats are the way to go. While I agree subject lines are helpful in every email, perhaps a personal decision no to open them should be considered by those who hate them to the extent that Richards does. -- Ryan User:Rjd0060

Possibly now is the time to draw a line under this conversation, as nothing productive is likely to come of it. On Fri, Dec 4, 2015 at 2:13 PM, Rjd0060 <rjd0060.wiki(a)gmail.com> wrote:

Perhaps it should be called a "subject line"? :-)
