TL;DR: getting tired of separating the wheat from the chaff I have an odd but potentially useful idea for the list server ... Until we have an AI that can properly read a message and re-write the subject line, perhaps the list server would *auto generate* a new subject line after, say, the 29th reply with the same "Re:". After 29 "Re: APL\360", the next such msg would have subject line rewritten to "New topic 1", and the next (up to) 28 "Re: APL\360" would be similarly re-written (the '28' is decremented for every "Re: APL\360" and every "Re: New topic 1"). At that point, the next "Re: APL\360" or next "Re: New topic 1" gets rewritten as "New topic 2". (After a reuse counter for a subject has been 0 for two weeks, it could be reset to 20, to allow much later legitimate replies.) Yeah, tired of getting hopeful seeing "Re: APL\360" and seeing instead a discussion of pints, or endianness (big rules, for a number of reasons ... *even the creator of Intels's memory chip admitted that*), or bit numbering, or counting sheep! :) (And I'm not even complaining about the needless copying of the entire prior post :)
