Rob:

On the topic of "what the Fuck ??" (thanks for such an open-ended topic),
permit me to point out that some of us with primitive mailers have a hard
time retracing conversational threads when participants

1) totally obliterate prior subject lines (e.g., "Subject: what the..." vs.
"Subject: what the... (Was:...)"

and

2) quote without attribution:

> If it is perfectly moral to eat dry breakfast cereal

vs.

Sincerely,

Liam
