Of course!   When I respond to an issue, I just press reply.  I need to 
assume, out of humility, that the person to whom I am replying knew what 
he was doing when he put it there in the first place. :-)   .... or more 
correctly, I don't pay any attention whatsoever to what mailing list I 
happen to be in.  

If I start a thread, I confess to being somewhat more cautious.
