Not at all. It's about the threading, see below...

If you were responding to individual emails, yes, not using REPLY (as  
you suggested in the previous post) would take your contribution out  
of the thread that you are responding to and technically start a new  
thread.
But Andy is right, it again works differently when using the Daily  
Digest posts. When you use those, you have no choice but be thrown  
out of the thread, whether using REPLY or not.

Which is a good practice in any case.

You might still consider other solutions apart from the daily digest.  
They have been suggested by others: mail filters that automatically  
store mails in dedicated folders and keep your INBOX free for those  
cialis posts... ;)
