I'm sorry Achmed, this was meant to be an example not a criticism.
Personally, I could care less about subject lines, I am interested in pretty
much all of it. I just think that for the sake of those who are not
interested in trading on the list, we should use a keyword. Some of these
people receive hundreds of EMAIL's a day, and it really is a waste of their
time to read extra ones that don't interest them, especially if they do
their mailing at work.

My message, I admit was a bit harsh, and perhaps worded a little
aggressively. For that, and for using Achmed as an example without saying
that was all it was, I appologize.
