I changed this one manually... I simply edited the Subject Line in my
"Reply To List" response.

When Owen was active here, he was a stickler against "thread bending"
and to the extent that my replies are almost *always* a tangent, I used
to feel *more* compelled to branch the Subject.  I may be one of the few
who try to maintain any of the inheritance of a thread with the "was:"
idiom.  

How important is thread hygiene to you (and others) here?  I'd like it
if we were more thoughtful/consistent with this and I would *try* to
comply if others came up with some guidelines.   I think the more facile
members of the list (Glen in particular) have good tools and habits to
make up for our wild thread bending/fraying/splattering, but I suspect
it is a problem for some (many)?
