and this list has such crazy high traffic that the grouping of threads and
messages is vital?
I typically read every message from this group simply because there really
aren't very many and since I know that sometimes things can go off topic
without a subject being changed, and the whole reason I am on this list is
to learn and find out new things.
perhaps I am of the minority in that.
but thanks for changing the subject line, perhaps you'll have to change it
again to reflect talking about changing subject lines...heaven  forbid
someone should open up a message about low loss coax and find out it is
about changed subject lines...wait a second, did you not just commit the
crime you requested not be committed, you used low loss coax as the subject,
but then didn't mention it at all but railed about subject lines and the
terrible inconvenience that occurs when they do not perfectly reflect the
content of the messages.
