I see it in my current email client. There are several people on the 
list wose habit is to start new topics by replying to a message in a 
current thread rather than starting a new thread by posting a "new" 
message. Whether or not this results in disorganization or other issues 
is dependent on how (which email client or web interface) you view the 
list. Many email clients sort lists by subject rather than by the 
message ID in the headers, so not everybody is affected. I mentioned 
this once not too long ago and it didn't generate much response in 
general nor a positive response from those who do it.
