So...?
You're making it damn near impossible to carry on a conversation when
you start new threads instead of replying to the prior one. Even more
so when it quotes nothing from the prior one.
I received somewhere around 200 messages today, likewise yesterday. I,
nor others, do not remember everything that was in yesterday's mail.
Nor will we feel like reading through every one of them trying to piece
your disassociated message into where it belongs. It's far easier to
just hit delete. I'm writing this, rather than hitting delete, for
*YOUR* benefit, and a few others who do the same thing on this list.
If you want to use a mailing list, you'll have to learn how to fit in
with how they're run:
* Reply to a message by "replying" to it. Use the function
actually called "reply" in your mail client.
* Quote enough of the prior message for yours to make sense
without anybody having to go and find your prior message. Do
*NOT* quote the entire thing unnecessarily.
* Write responses to specific parts of a message *directly* under
where the bit you're responding to is. So the whole thing reads
like a coherent conversation, in itself. (Called interspersed
quoting.)
You should be able to see how this is done by looking at most of the
other messages on the list. If you ignore the advice, you'll get
ignored by other list participents. Possibly by the ones with the
answer to your queries.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
I read messages from the public lists.
