In general, it might be good for folks to review the list guidelines.

Specifically, Ils like to remind everyone that using subject lines that are 
relevant and appropriate is required by everyone regardless of whether or 
not you use the digest version or not.

Recently someone posted without using a subject line. While that is 
obviously against the guidelines, what is also not good is that too many 
people just replied to that message or another message in that thread 
without changing the subject line.

One person did try to change it, but even after this was posted many many 
people were still replying to the old no subject thread without changing it.

The reason this is so important (now more than ever) is that in the near 
future IxDA is going to be releasing a web front end to our mailing list. 
Packed with features that will enhance everyone's use of the discussion 
list of IxDA. For this new interface to be most effective, subject line 
integrity is really important.

As a side note so are the guidelines for Job postings.

So please do be sure when posting and replying to use a relevant and 
appropriate subject line.

Dave
