Ditto yup. I made a similar comment a while back and
someone responded that there was a list
software-related technical reason for staying with the
same thread "title". I didn't get it then, and I
still don't.
After you've hit reply, and carved your comment into
the pre-quoted original, then go to the subject line
and update that as well, including the obligitory
"WAS".
Just a suggestion.
Best, Jeff Davis
