Ray,
You say "I find it equally frustrating when a thread starts that I'm not
greatly interested in, only to mutate into something entirely different that
I am interested
in, except that, by then, I've decided to ignore it and it passes me by."
How do you know it as passed you buy if you haven't read it?
Jim.

me by. Like most here, I cannot, and do not read everything. I thought,
and I might be wrong, that when a subject line is changed one should mention
it in the body of the text, at the start of a message, and I will own up to
not always doing that.

the greater than or other indent signs you get as you move down the message,
not to mention the seemingly enldessly repeated group message at the end.
That of course eventually makes the message too long to be accepted by the
server, or for those apparantly in digest mode, although I don't quite
understand the last.
