What mail client are you using? Most mail clients automatically write
"Re: Topic Name" to the subject field.
Actually, not changing the subject worked perfectly for this reply.
And nobody was "bitching about it for no apparent reason". If you're
going to join a mailing list you should conform to the standards, I
bet 50% of the people you replied to never saw your reply because of
how you changed the subject.
Most MUAs /don't/ do threading (For example, AFAIK Icedove/Tbird
doesn't do threading), and those that do are the only ones able to see
your replies from the right context.
