Just because Res does not understand how mail specifically works does 
not make him inept.

I would be more of the opinion that the configuration of the mail 
program would be set to automatically start a new thread if the subject 
line changes drastically.  This appears to be more closely related to 
how people think, rather than how things actually work.

Furthermore, Fedora [and Linux in general] is, IMO, doing an excellent 
job of bringing Linux to the "inept" user.  In my informal studies, 
people seem to actually prefer Fedora to Windows, in terms of 
user-friendlieness, ability to complete tasks, performance and reliability.

That being said, I didn't find the entire thread to be amusing, but 
rather a sad portrayal of childish human nature, primarily because there 
are way too many threads in the forum that are like this.  IMO, it would 
have been better for Res to simply "ignore", or perhaps quietly accept 
the suggestions of others, or maybe even respond OFF-LIST!!!!!
