And what's so horrible about that? I miss entire conversations because
somebody starts discussing something I *would* find interesting under a
misleading Subject: and never changes it. Oh well - people will do what
they do, thank goodness for search...

How do you justify making everybody conform to your preferred behavior?
Even though I did what you wanted in this reply/new topic. ;)  But now
nobody can see what I didn't quote from your original message without
going off and running a search - isn't that annoying too?
