No, you haven't.  You've replied to ANOTHER thread, hijacking that one.

Your message is not tied to its original thread in any way.  I, and many
others, will NOT find it when looking for a resolution to that thread.
Go back and find the message this thread really belongs to, and reply to
that thread.

NB:  Threads are not "threaded" by the text written in the subject line.
They're threaded by the message headers that say *this* message is
"in-reply-to" the "message-id" of the message that it's *actually* in
reply to, and a "references" header that lists the other messages in the
same thread.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
I read messages from the public lists.
