Zbigniew:

Thunderbird is doing exactly what it should do.  You are using the
reply command when in fact you are not replying.  Your new topic is
not related to the message and yet you are declaring that it is.

What you are doing is not the standard protocol and it is making
things worse for other people.  In what way do you think what you are
doing is appropriate and useful?

You've been asked rudely and you've been asked nicely to conform to
reasonable conventions.  Is there a reason not to do so?

I'm sure we would excuse you if you could give an explanation that
seemed reasonable.  The usual excuse ("I didn't know any better")
appears not to apply, at least not any more.

Notice that I've changed the Subject (to fix your spelling) without 
starting a new thread.  This is an example of how changing the Subject 
does not change the thread.
