Huw, I think if you looked at Greg's heading and content, you will find that
quickly in a <Tors*n> archive search a year from now. A good thing or
'sheisbin'? Secondly, content is also looked at, so the <edit/copy> of Gregs
post alone (I'm just a guilty here) will get the search engine perked as
well. 3 bads to the sheisbin, please, yours included.

Hey, I'm all for Subject Line protocol, one of the earliest advocates of it
here, documented. This is a free list as far as subject heading, I publicly
(and privately to Dan S) brought this very subject up over a year ago with
little interest. I'm also interested in better search engine success (which
in turn will reduce the amount of new posts on old subjects). Pardon me, if
my Subject heading just might lead someone to a faster search a year from
now, my unreadable english so noted.
For all those advocating the above change, try the new archive search (in
detail) sometime. I charge that changing the subject might just be a good
thing. Better yet, forget deleting by Subject line, delete by sender, it's
easier. Huw, both your and Greg's intrinsic argument here is that *some* of
my posts and subjects are readable. That's a carpe diem argument, I say,
let's not let Dan's new search engine find those undesireable ones quite as
easily a year from now.
Until Heading protocol, may I suggest the <delete> key.
