I think the thread-bending horse left the barn a decade ago. Even Owen could bend a thread or two in his time. .

I changed this one manually... I simply edited the Subject Line in my "Reply To List" response. When Owen was active here, he was a stickler against "thread bending" and to the extent that my replies are almost *always* a tangent, I used to feel *more* compelled to branch the Subject. I may be one of the few who try to maintain any of the inheritance of a thread with the "was:" idiom. How important is thread hygiene to you (and others) here? I'd like it if we were more thoughtful/consistent with this and I would *try* to comply if others came up with some guidelines. I think the more facile members of the list (Glen in particular) have good tools and habits to make up for our wild thread bending/fraying/splattering, but I suspect it is a problem for some (many)? - Steve - .... . -..-. . -. -.. -..-. .. ... -..-. .... . .-. .
