Yeah, pointing that out every now and then is useful.  I'm never sure 
whether those of us who use threaded readers are the minority or the 
majority - but there are certainly plenty of people who don't realize 
they exist and don't see any ill-effects of replying to messages to 
start new threads (although they presumably show up wrong in 
web-archives, etc. as well).

What I am sure of is that I can't comprehend how people can follow 
mailing lists this size *without* threading - I just can't remember that 
much context.
