I'm not trying to be a hard ass here, but
please try to look at it from
You may not be trying, but that's the way it's coming off.

You must truly be reading this group on a micro, then, because it takes
me about 500ms to mark and delete threads I'm not interested in.

I'll go with Marden here. The subject line is
like a table of

It looks a bit like one, but, as you have discovered, it isn't.

I don't agree that it's a waste of time. If it wasn't for threads with
drifted subject lines so that you need to read every post to see what's
relevant, I would find it much much harder to procrastinate during long
compiles and uploads.
