I believe the way to treat a changing subject is with the magic word "olim", which is Latin for something like "used to be". E.g.: To crop or not [olim Julian Bream on lute] Corrections gladly accepted, Leonard -Original Message- From: David Smith To: Wayne ; lute net Sent: Fri, Jun 28, 2019 1:24 pm Subject: [LUTE] Re: how about changing the subject too!

But, replying to a discussion that is underway requires keeping the same topic so that the thread makes sense...even if the content of the thread no longer matches the topic.

On all my computers, the most recent part of the email is visible at the top. If there're 10 pages of older threads, they don't show unless I want to see them, and I have to deliberately scroll down. So what is the fuss? A. John Mardinly, Ph.D., P.E.
