Just kidding
I chose this as a subject to illustrate the tastelessness of repeating
the below as a subject title. At least the "bad" review was dropped.
One bad review is enough, but to repeat it over and over again really
rubs me the wrong way. I can assume no one is really pay attention to
the subject except myself. I sure would hate to see :)

Paul made a really bad s. typo
Kraig can't Spell
Joe finally gets it

As repeated subject
If warren was on this list, I don't think it would be done SO to balance
it out

WARREN BURK WRITES SOME REALLY GOOD MUSIC!!!!!

You know, don't you, that for eons mailing lists have maintained a
particular paradigm, known as "threads". The first message starts
with a subject, and any replies to it (and, in a *well programmed
mailing list*, the replies to the replies) will prepend "Re: " to
that subject matter.

The entire reason for this is that if you subscribe in a normal
manner (i.e. non-digest), you can use your email client to 'walk' the
thread of the subject and all it's replies, instead of looking at the
posts as they come in chronologically.

It is *not* the individual people, writing their messages, who are
repeating it. You *can* change a subject header by just writing a new
post, but that defeats the purpose of being able to follow a thread.

And this is from someone who considers Warren a real swell guy!

Cheers,
