Often such threads change the title because they drift into more or less
of-topic.
I must say I like the "limit" given peer user and day.
My mail box have a limit for 300 mails at all, from time to time it get
flouted by mails from such threads, and I can't receive more mails then,
before I have delete the mass from the server.
That could be a pity, when I'm travel (and I travel a lot).
