Excuse me, but whatever happened to the Subject heading having something to
do with he posting it is attacched to. I realize there may be others out
there who have a lot of time and read every posting to the list. I don't.
If the subject has no imediate intrest for me I skip by it.

Imagine my surprise when I acidentally opened a posting labeled "Ping" (I
assumed it was just a test of a groupmember's mail connection) and found a
thread that I would be interested in following. I'm not complaining about
threads taking a bit of a tangent. Heaven forbid, tangents make life worth
living. But if the main subject of the thread changes, please change the
Subject Label.



Boy I feel a lot better now...

Oh, I'm sorry, I guess that was me... Sorry, my computer was stuffing up
and for some reason I couldn't change the subject line. I don't know what
was going on!

Don't wory about it. As usual another listmember changed the subject tag
before I sent out my complaint. It's just the way things wok for me I guess.
