Shucks, I've just about given up on subject lines even though that's
what I scan when I read my digest.
I've just come to accept the fact if someone doesnt properly edit the
subject line, then I may not read
their post because the original subject may not be something I may be
interested at that time.
My biggest complaint recently is the huge amount of excess material
included in replies to other posts,
which can be including as much as 3-5 recent posts that just keep going
on. You can reply to a post
without resending that last 10 copies of it.
Yeah, I can understand the occasional error when someone replies to a
line in a digest and accidentally
includes the whole digest...
Here's an example, not to pick on anyone, but this was 25% of one
digest...

I was referring to adding the Ford Mustang GT-500 to the "ALL TIME GREATS"
list not the year.

Steve, you're not up on your history. There was no GT-500 in '65.
