I accepted that it's linear.

I don't think I *can* do much more than accept it and move on: if 
python-dev was used by everyone, rather than almost exclusively by 
people who prefer e-mail (and presumably use threading mail clients), 
we'd get mangled threading anyway from all the non-threaded clients.

I mean, I could grumble about threading and bottom-posting and 
plain-text messages and IRC all day, but realistically, I'm not likely 
to convince anyone who's not into those things already.
