re: Also...So be it Saturday, March 1, 2003 at 10:16 am Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by LarryJ (1073 messages posted) To be sure, our discussion does manage to detract from the OP's concern; I apologize for that... I accept your viewpoint as a constructive suggestion; perhaps I could have been more receptive; just a difference of opinion. Heck, wouldn't be interesting if we agreed on everything... Anyways, jdee, there are times to where subject lines almost beg to be changed; either due to their length or lack of clarity, too, in addition to arbitrarily changing it. I don't see it as being uncommon to change the subject line; either to emphasize that you're adding additional commentary (which I sometimes do), or simply to draw attention to your response, for whatever reason. Reasons aside (be they serious or humorous ones), I don't view it as a distraction (or confusing); doing so often livens up the thread, IMO. Just another angle to express ourselves. The only times 'confusion' come into play is when responses are directed to the wrong party -- it's not the subject line that's at fault, but rather when the responder chooses to reply. Have a good weekend. On Saturday, March 1, 2003 at 8:13 am, jdee wrote: OK - maybe I overstated the frequency ) I hit 2 out of 2. I feel it is better to stay in context for others looking at new posts. In my case, I use chronological listing of messages so changing the message subject in mid-thread does lose the continuity. Sorry if I offended but I thought I made a polite suggestion. Written in response to: re: Also...So be it (jdee: Saturday, March 1, 2003 at 8:13 am) Responses to this message: Oh_dang it!
