I think one problem is not the clarity of the subject field, but maybe getting inundated with a billion and one nonsensical messages. I was one of the perpetrators of the "Can and String" standard, and, I must admit, it did seem to get a bit out of hand. I think everyone appreciates a bit of humor, but too much does get a bit tiresome...but what is too much? Maybe Cynthia's proposal is a good solution? I don't know.

Personally I found it humorous, yet I can understand where others would be upset by it. May I suggest a compromise?? How about we designate Fridays as an open day where humor is not only allowed but encouraged. For who amongst us does not need a laugh to end the week? Then we leave Monday through Thursday as serious only and that way those that do not wish to see humor are prepared to watch the subject line on Fridays and delete that which they do not which to read. Seem reasonable???

TREG is a big group of people and occasionally we get a chance to talk around the water cooler. If you just want information without personality, I would suggest you spend more time with books and less time on the Internet. Everyone needs to waste a little bandwidth now and again.
