PanoTools: Re: Topic Tags & off-topic threads Eric O'Brien 2005-Sep-18 03:47:29
This is a good idea.

Another thing that would be VERY helpful is if people would not simply 
hit "reply" if the intended subject of their mail is NOT in reply to 
the message they are reading!  As has been noted repeatedly, many email 
clients offer the ability to reveal the threads of a discussion.

It is VERY confusing, disorienting, irritating, when off-topic messages 
are included in a thread simply because someone failed to take the time 
to create a new message.  Note that changing the "Subject: " line will 
NOT "unthread" a message.  You must create an entirely new message.


Rule of thumb:  Are you changing the subject of discussion, or creating 
a new subject of discussion?  Then please CREATE A NEW MESSAGE, and 
send that.  Do NOT use "reply!"

Please.
