I believe its basically a function of how your news reader does
threading, compounded by the fact that posts are being sent via
both newsreaders and e-mail clients. Most newsreaders will use the
references header, others will also use the subject header. When
you've got some people replying via e-mail, the references line is
usually lost, so the news server will only thread it properly if
it uses the subject as sort of a secondary key to thread on.
