Oh I see. It’s an interesting question. I don’t tend to change the subject line when I reply because I see it as the ‘property’ of the person who originally wrote it. So if I want to reply to something I leave the subject line the same because it would feel like changing the other person’s words. I’ve changed it very occasionally (in fact I did it today) but I don't do it often. I’ve always felt that the ‘Re:’ at the beginning of the subject line made it clear that it wasn’t my own words. So I guess that’s why I felt the PBC wasn’t really justified in your case.

> So it was basically just stupid on my part. I'm okay with it. Just a pretty dumb way to get your first PBC.

Hey, if I’d had any idea that I could be held responsible for someone else’s choice of words in the subject line I probably would have been too frightened to post in the first place. I definitely don’t think you were dumb. It’s a technicality that I believe is unnecessary… but if we have to take account of it, I wish it were explicitly mentioned as a hazard in the FAQ!

OK, I've finished ranting now. Time for bed!
