Notice: Subject control? and thanks!

[Bill Darte]

Below, I responded to a message about a general ARIN, addressing and
conservation document for non-techies.... yet the subject was RE:Long over
due.....just like all the rest....

I propose that we should use the RE: to the same subject when a subject
specifies the actual content of the message, and make up a new subject when
we initiate a new item or when we take an existing topic on a tangent
discussion....

It's hard to remember to do this, but as a point of order, it will make
keeping up with messages we are interested easier and less cumbersome
overall.....

Bill Darte....and oh...thanks for the response...eureka! maybe there is like
in CLEW.
