[Mingw-users] [OT] Re: failure to resolve include files

Umm.. The thread "[Mingw-users] free() - how is it
implemented in mingw?" now also contains messages from
no less than *two* completely nonrelated subjects,
thanks to you.

I read my messages using a threaded view.
The threads are determined based on either of the following
reasons:
1) "References" header.
   The message I responded to references message id
   "<435...@tb...>", which, apparently
   by sheer accident, is the id of the first post of
   the aforementioned thread.
2) "Subject" header.

You managed to change the subject, a worthy accomplishment
in itself. However, you did not scrub the reference out of
the message, so now your messages, as well as all the replies
to them, seem to be replies to an unrelated thread.
This not only affects me, but anyone reading the list archives
on the web.

I would appreciate if in future you would get rid of
references to other messages when starting a new thread.
The easiest way to do that is to *not* *reply* to messages,
but write a completely new one instead.
If it is a question along the lines of not being able to
remember the mailing list address, I suggest you either
take a look at the address book functionality of your e-mail
client or familiarize yourself with the art of copy-paste
(possibly using the functionality of your windowing system
 or even pen and paper).


Thank you,
