Subject: Subject/Message Coherence MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="ISO-8859-1" MDOsprey, Disclaimer: I rely on MDOsprey to give me timely and accurate informatio= n, and it is a valuable resource that I am not intending to slander in the following paragraph. The following suggestion only applies to a small percentage of the messages posted to MDOsprey, so please read objectively. Please use appropriate subject lines on posts. This is usually the case,= so this is certainly directed to the significantly samll percentage of participants. Instead of just "replying" to a post and typing new information, please consider if the information warrants a new subject li= ne. I was recently superfluously abused by a number of MDOspreyers (privately= , at least, but they should be embarrassed for their childish behavior) for having not read a particular message and trying to understand the origination of some subsequent information. Information embedded in a re= ply with an irrelevant subject (particularly if the reader is not interested = in that subject at the moment) is not disseminated efficiently (if at all). That information will certainly not be read by all those who can gain fro= m the information. If you really want all interested people to read what you've posted, plea= se use an appropriate subject line. That's enough of this "soapbox"; I apologize for this interruption. Now back to your regularly scheduled program...
