hear, hear!
i often skip topics i'm not interested in, but i find its better if i read
every tenth message or something, bec one subject heading will mutate to
three related threads, which in turn mutate to three un-related threads,
which... well, -eventually- some of them die :)
if people would be more careful about changing subject headings, pizza
calls on one thread would not capsize fifteen topics. also list skimmers,
who comment moderately often, would likely skip less stuff.
ziviya, planning to post another chapter of TSK real soon now. although not
planning to catch up to victoria anymore, she goes to fast for me
