Hi Dark, Agreed. As I mentioned in a previous post it is hard enough to get people to stick to a topic as it is because most people are rather lax when it comes to subject lines. Since I'm not a control freak I try not to interfere accept when the situation needs more heavy handed moderation. I think rather than making this a rule to phrase it as a suggestion so that people can do it as a courtesy rather than making it a requirement. Especially, since some subjects are long enough as it is and adding platform information etc will undoubtedly make it longer.
