In general banning users does not happen a lot if at all. What is desired is some kind of proper behaviour. Only breaking email threads is certainly not enough. To be banned one would probably have to be trolling a lot, sending spam, or something the like. Most things certainly warant a warning first (probably only spamming being an exception). In short, don't be afraid. It's appreciated if you follow the requests of other members, but you will not be kicked if you forget. Worst thing you'll be ignored. Paul ps. The idea is that if the thread stumbled upon a different subject, you change the subject line. If however you want to have a different subject to which the previous mail is not really related, you start a new thread. -- Paul de Vrieze Gentoo Developer Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Homepage: http://www.devrieze.net
