To me, no. I've always felt that threads should be built by reference,
not by subject. To me, reference headers feel like a "real" connection,
vs subject headers, which only happen to coincide.
Obviously this is totally subjective, and I only chime in to say that
other people (me) have a different "logical" interpretation of the
situation. But it's one of those areas of Gnus that everyone will have
different (strongly-held) opinions about.
