On the other hand, I have a long running low grade peeve with members who 
title a new thread "Suggestion" or "Thought" or "32 words of text" :) 
rather than using a Subject that describes what the message is really about.

In this case, were I to post a message telling my fellow list managers to 
use a descriptive subject, it might have read something like

        Subject: Please use a more descriptive subject!

which would give the folder-browsing member more of a hint as to what the 
message is about.

I mention this because it points up a common experience in list-land: 
everybody knows the guidelines, but (most) everybody assumes that they, 
THEMSELVES, are naturally the exception :)
