Well, IMHO you use bad subject lines at your own risk. Depending on which mail client I use, I'll sometimes only use the subject line to determine if I'm going to read the message or just delete it. Others on the list have said the same thing and the description of the list is pretty clear that using good subject lines and changing the subject line when the thread changes is expected. If you want some help or you want a question answered then it's in your best interest to make the subject line as meaningful as possible.
I don't think the RAR example is a good one since I think the originator was confused and didn't realize that the RAR file type indicated a archive and not a compressed audio format. Maybe that subject line should have been changed, but since the subsequent responses had to do with which tools to use to unpack the RAR file, I'm not so sure that was necessary, although I have to admit, I don't remember the subject line anymore. Besides, just because someone else chooses to use a poor subject line doesn't mean that it's then OK for everyone else to do it! Instead of perpetuating a mistake, you could set an example instead! :-) On 08/01/12 18:53, Dane Trethowan wrote: > I don't think I'll bother about the subject line, no worse than others > on this list talking about RAR archives when they don't have anything to > do with MP3 compression <smile>. > > > > On 8/01/2012 12:54 PM, Dale Heltzer wrote: >> Interesting hardware information, but you *might consider a more >> informative >> Subject line<g>. >> >>> -----Original Message----- >>> From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-bounces@pc- >>> audio.org] On Behalf Of Dane Trethowan >>> Sent: Saturday, January 07, 2012 5:07 PM >>> To: PC Audio Discussion List >>> Subject: Re: Taking The Punt On A New Device >>> >>> Can't answer that, you'll have to do some research. >>> >>> I'm sure I've seen posts on other lists pointing to devices which may >>> suit >>> your needs. >>> >>> >>> >>> On 8/01/2012 7:34 AM, Hank Smith wrote: >>>> Hello is there any such beasties for the us that are any good? >>>> Hank >>>> On 1/7/2012 12:50 AM, Dane Trethowan wrote: >>>>> Hi Everyone and a Happy New Year to you all, new Years greetings seem >>>>> to be thin on the ground so perhaps that's an indication of what sort >>>>> of year we're going to have?
