AFAICS, it isn't.  Looks like Bill decided to do the ol' "reply and
edit to your liking" trick that associates two, disparate threads in
the email archives into one.  It's too bad too.  Now he's ruined a 
perfectly good thread by shifting it to something on topic. ;-)

But actually, we do frown on posts that usurp other threads this way.
