It's difficult to mix what is your opinion with a 'moderatorial'
reprimand or warning. The whole message tends to be taken as being
'moderatorial' in nature. :=)

<ssshhh>
I have a folder called 'List Gems'. If I see a very informative message
posted, I copy it to my 'List Gems' folder. If the subject is totally
off-base with the content, I used to give it a nudge in the right
direction by modifying it. It makes it easier for me to tell what each
message gem is about. :=)
The same goes for my shareware registrations. I register a LOT of
software, being a software freak and all. :=))) I used to change the
subjects to help me know which registration info is for which software.
</sssshhhh> :=)
After all that's said, I have recently stopped doing all that since the
introduction of memo's. I do agree with Marck's concern and memo's have
provided a nice, perhaps superior means of describing what the message
is about without interfering with it's content.
