Do you *really* believe that it's possible to make all
listmembers respect the subject line? I don't mean
you and JDG [who usually *do*], but most threads have
totally meaningless subjects.
Keeping the subjects on-topic would require a tyrannical
moderation, and I guess no one wants to take this job.
OTOH, if people would behave properly, I would suggest
adding to the subject line things like:
[abortion] - if the message discusses abortion
[gun control] - " gun control
[politics] - " politics
[USA] - " weird things that are only meaningful for USA
citizens [baseball, USA-football, Supreme Court decisions,
etc]
[!USA] - " things that are meaningless for USA citizens
[true football, elections with more than two parties, etc]
[off topic] - " science fiction
[totally off topic] - " Brin's books
Any other catchy subject that requires a label?
