Please try to extrapolate more in your subject headings. "your mail"
isn't descriptive, nor does the word "your" take on any targeting
capabilities on a mailer.

I know you are generally good about this. This isn't only directed at
you; rather it's a friendly reminder to all.

Justin :)

I make it a point not to change the subject heading when I
get involved in a thread that has nothing to do with
Shadowrun, so that people who are filtering that thread may
continue to do so.

What are everyone else's feeling on this? Cuz if I'm outa
line, I will make it a point to change.

The "Re: Your mail" subject comes from replying to mails w/o subjects.
So blame the one who David answered to (and David only for not changing
the subject :-)

Yeah, it's all Dusty's fault for not using a subject to
begin with. Yeah, that's the ticket :)

God know's I get involved in enough of them, if I don't inadvertantly start
them (It's usually not on purpose, guys!)...

Anyways, I'll either leave the subject alone, or change it... If I change
it, I try and make sure it's somewhat obvious that it's not an SR-post so
that most people can just ignore it...

Inadvertantly???? When did you last inadvertantly start an off-topic thread
Bull????

I always thought they were purely intentional.....

Like adding [OFF TOPIC] to it, or something....
