I think you made the point perfectly Ron. You could have made that filter on the first day the pci list opened however many years ago by filtering on the to: line. You didn't need the five characters added, and that's what has frustrated those of us who regularly filter messages. It's not that most of us care one way or the other about five extra subject line characters, though one might argue that it will further dilute the usefulness of subject lines. We just see it as unnecessary, because all the tools to filter and sort were already there, long before [PCI] was added to the subject. If you know how to filter, then [PCI] has no usefulness, whatsoever, in the subject line.
Does anyone else feel like the PCI list has been zapped into the land of Liliputia where we endlessly argue which end of the egg to open?

It is puzzling that we have not heard complaints before from PCI listers who also subscribe to the swap list.
Didn't the [swap] prefix cause problems in the past ? Why has the use of prefixes suddenly emerged as a problem ?
