I believe that the only way to clean up the list is for the members
to be self policing. I got to the point where I couldn't stand the
number of emails that had no, much less meaningful, subject lines
about a month or so ago. I then started responding privately to the
posters that they should provide meaningful subject lines and I've
noticed that there has been a large dropoff of the number of
occurrences in those kinds of emails.
I suggest that for product specific questions that people refrain
from answering the questions publicly and privately reply with
something like:
Please go to <vendor> web site.
This only takes a few seconds and will dramatically reduce the number
of repeat offenders.
Regards,
Don Bate
