No, you're right. I actually realized what you meant like 10 seconds after
I emailed you. I thought you meant don't use:

theme-reviewers at lists.wordpress.org

and I was confused (being that I'm a newb) and thought maybe there was
another way we were suppose to continue conversations. But you meant the
subjects, keep them organized and on-topic. Completely agree.
