Email list decorum is when you start a thread with a discussion regarding, for example, slow hard drive speeds, to continue replying to replying on that thread, with that subject line, even if the subject becomes about replacing the computer's motherboard to fix a bad hard connector that was creating the slow hard drive speeds. Usually, the time for a new thread is when after months of using your new motherboard with fast hard drive speeds and you have a problem with memory would you make a new thread. Again, it's just a method of being polite on a list, much like responsing to a post and bottom posting with the previous text above your text, it's much easier to read and follow and provide follow up help with.
