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.
