If you want to start a new thread don't reply to an existing one. Even
if you change the subject it is still part of the old thread. Most
email clients still recognize the connection to previous messages.
Instead, start a new message. Hit the compose or write link (we can't
be more specific without knowing what email client you are using) and
start fresh. Often you can click on the email address in the headers
of an existing message. This is different than a reply. For example,
here are some of the headers in your message.

Note the To: line (wrapped in this message but actually on one line)
that has two addresses separated by a comma. You can click on either
one to start a new message. Obviously the pgsql-general@postgresql.org
one is the one you would use to start a new thread on this list.
Some mailing list make it even easier by including a mail link at the
bottom of each message but this one doesn't.
Note that this is what I did with this message. It is not part of any
previous thread. It is the start of a new (hopefully short) thread.
