I think that is a tad inappropriate, when it's been pointed out it's most likely a bug in gmail causing it. You can always create a filter in your email client of choosing if you don't want to see what, the two(?) threads that are active atm. On 4 December 2015 at 19:55, Richard Ames

If a respondent changes the subject, It splits the thread off to yet another thread (for those in a threaded client) which in my personal view is even more disruptive. Each to their own I guess. On 4 December 2015 at 21:32, Richard Ames wrote: > I was venting and I had had

I was venting and I had had a drink or two. I think any reasonable correspondent can change the subject line. So I was sort of serious, Richard. On Fri, Dec 4, 2015 at 9:51 PM, Austin Hair wrote: > I won't speak for him, but I think Richard was venting more than > making a

Wikimedia community consists of many professionals of very different trades. I am pretty sure we have professional graphic designers within the community who would willingly do the work done for free. Just a small effort should be done reaching them. --Base On 04.12.2015 2:21, geni wrote: On
