I see you are new here... it might be worthwhile for you to read that
link as well as this one:

Hijacking threads is frowned on in _any_ mailing list that I am aware
of. Please respect the OP of the *original* thread and start a new one
instead. Asking to do so has nothing to do with being a "list-cop", but
instead having the common courtesy to respect others threads & try to
abide by the guidelines of this list. Same for others that disregard the
OP/thread & respond to the hijack. IMO it's better to politely advise
the hijacker (new or old list user) to *please* start a new thread
rather than have the OP/thread entirely overridden by the hijacked
thread subject. Surely, as a former "list-cop" you understand that... right?
