Quite simple.

The beginning of the message from Henne to this mail list which I quoted
had the Subject heading of, "[opensuse-project] Can we support
for-profit organizations to make money? (Was: Ubuntu One Music Store)".

There is no "Re:" in the Subject heading.

For all practical purposes Henne is responding to a thread "Can we
support for-profit organizations."

But then there is that "(Was: Ubuntu.....").

I am not interested in "One Music Store" so did not read the messages in
that thread.

If someone wants to continue an aspect of a subject under a different
subject heading then they should state quite clearly what  is now being
discussed under the new thread by clearly stating the origins on which
the new topic is based and not simply come in the middle of a topic by
stating,

OK, so people make mistakes.

Inadvertently I made a mistake (sort of) for not delving into the (dark) depths 
of what who said what to whom.

For this slackness on my part for not paying closer attention to what was being 
posted  by people in this forum  I can only blame myself, and as a result I 
tender my apology to you  regarding this matter  :-) .
