Stuart, et al.
I want to make this list as helpful for developers as possible, so later this
week I will put up a "subject line" voting web page. If most people vote to
have the newsgroup name in the subject, then I'll change it back.
I'll send an email to the list when the voting page is available.
Regards,
Ryan Robertson

FWIW - I really liked having the newsgroup name in the subject. However, I've
switched to newsgroup reading, so its a moot point for me.
