I wrote, and I quote, "it may well have been a new question but it sure 
wasn't a new thread". The key word here is 'thread'. By replying to the 
message 'kexi and mysql', even though you completely changed the 
subject, you continued an existing thread. I even suggested how you 
might see this for yourself but now I'm going to provide a screenshot 
of it:

You see how your post 'Opening Windows' of 2004-11-27 18:12:12 appears 
to be a follow-up to 'kexi and mysql'? As someone else wrote is 
sometimes called "thread jacking" and that is what we don't want to 
see.

And please don't top-post / top-reply either. That's also very annoying.
