<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I think it would be helpful if messages that _ask_ questions or seek information were more readily distinguishable from messages that _answer_ questions or provide information. For example, if a message subject line reads only "Spam," I can't tell whether it's a question about whether Spam is gluten-free, in which case I have no information to provide and can safely skip the message, or a message providing information about whether Spam is gluten-free, in which case I want to read the message because some day, in the distant future, I might crave the stuff. Our listowners may have a better suggestion, but, for the moment, I propose that questions posted to the list begin their subjects with "/Q". Further distinctions among the responses that are definitive answers, opinions, anecdotal evidence, rank speculation, etc., might get too complicated and start sounding like a personal ad. (SWM seeks S/DWF NS w/ D/W A/C W/W carpet, P/S, AM/FM, sunroof.) Sound good? (The suggestion, not the personal ad.) Mike Coe Arlington, Va.
