A request — please update subject lines when you change the
subject! With such a varied range of interests, it helps people to
know which posts they want to read and which ones to skip.
The fabric on your site is lovely and I'd hate to have people
miss it.
Thank you!
Well, I don't like to post me toos, but I agree with you.
I'm subscribed to more than 50 lists. If I have to remember codes beyond the
usual headers (for example, OT), I'll simply stop posting, and I'm guessing
I'm not the only one in this case.
Proper subject lines, however, are the way to

Ditto, which is why I suggested simply skimming/deleting. To be honest, I can't
see how anyone finds the second or two it takes to realise a message isn't
worth reading a real and serious drain on their time (since I get the digest).

I think the prefixes are intended for the subject line, right?
I belong to a list that recommends headers. It's a diverse group with
members from many countries, but all posts are in English. Honestly, the
prefixes don't do *one bit* of good! Some people use them, some don't. The

Prefixes are to the subject line, as in CHAT: Is everyone in New
Orleans OK after the hurricane?
They do a lot of good because you can set up a filter for them in your
mail browser or in your ISP, if your ISP has that capability. That is
how I can avoid downloading 50 chat messages a day
I'm wary of offering a prefix for chat. I do find that most people
do not consider this a chatty type of list. Even when discussing
something off-topic, many add the obligatory costume content at the
end. It's breast cancer awareness month, OCC I found this great

We have had discussions in the past about carpal
tunnel syndrome and sewing, going into prevention and treatment and
treatment. But again, it's something of interest to several list

Did I miss something?
Yes. I complained about too much off-topic chat, and emails such as
congratulations which should be personal, and Kelly said that:

Although I thought other people also thought maybe there was a bit too
much off-topic and personal chat, I assume the one individual means
me. If not, who is it?
Hey, it's not just one individual - there are two of us at least!
As far as people unsubbing, there were some
All I see here is a desire to insinuate that I have said several things

If you want to flame me, take it to private email. I won't answer it,
