So you're deliberately making things worse for others because they didn't choose what you wanted. I don't know how it is in your place but in mine it's called being a dick.
And BTW - I do have a separate email account just for mailing lists but it's still unreadable when you have 15 threads instead of one.
If you think it clutters your inbox - do as you said - make a folder and filter. If you want to mute a thread - there are plugins for that to i.e. Thunderbird.
And argh, on other lists I'm subscribed to even non technical persons are able to properly use the thread system - why is it so hard to do this here where people should represent something more?
I'm not voting for changing the tool. I'm voting for not misusing the things we already have.

I don't use the e-mail client to "reply". I have set the list to digest mode, the daily digests I move to a separate folder that effectively is a trashcan, and I read the topics via the mailman archive site where I cut and paste parts into a new mail message every time. So no threads from me.
I don't like mailing lists. At ALL. Precisely because thread management is so difficult, uninteresting threads cannot be killed, and traffic comes in between normal mail. I would propose setting up a small USENET server with one or a couple of groups and then use a newsreader to read and reply to the threads.
But that is apparently considered old-fashioned as well by some, and newer methods are considered unacceptable.
So, no change. Live with it. Make a processing rule in your mailclient that dumps the 44net mail in a separate folder, so your Inbox is left clean.
