I'm going to play the "I don't get it" card, and it has to do with  
Subject Lines.  I set my mailer to organize messages by thread, and  
if I'm not interested in the subject line I ignore the messages.   
There are three threads today I'm not going to read.  When I'm done  
reading GNHLUG mail for the day, I mark all as read and don't look back.

If somebody wanted to fork the thread and didn't feel like starting a  
new one, oh well.  So, "I don't get it".

BTW, mailman has a feature called 'topics'.  I have no idea what they  
actually do.
