Just as an "oh, by the way", the "[moderated] YOU MUST GIVE A

I forgot to add in my other reply that my suggestion to boycott (ie
systematically delete without reading) all messages with such subjects
should be intended not to "punish" people not skilled enough to use
that form properly, but as a sort of absolutely voluntary and
constructive "strike" to stimulate moderators, webmaster, whoever has
access to that form, to change it so that it refuses messages which
still have "YOU MUST GIVE A SUMMARY HERE" as the only subject.

I will make a New Year's resolution to try to remember to change that
subject line ...
However, if you think that automatically deleting or otherwise ignoring
such messages will make the moderators do something about that web site
than I think you are being uncharacteristically optimistic.
I personally think that ignoring requests for help, even if badly
phrased, is just rude; the sort of behaviour I'd not even expect from
the support desk of that other office suite.
