HP Printers

[Roger Merchberger]

Rumor has it that Jim Isbell may have mentioned these words:
>OOps, I forgot to change the subject line on that last post.ead of " Atari 
>Unix "  it should have been HP Printers.  So here it is again under the 
>proper subject.  I was in too much of a hurry and used an old message to 
>modify but failed to modify it completely.

I'm not trying to sound like a list-nazi or anything, but you really 
shouldn't do that. It totally whacks out 1) any email programs that show 
messages in a threaded manner, and 2) the list archives. Your "new, but not 
really" message will still show up as a thread sub-message under the old 
heading, and makes the archives harder to follow.

On more militant lists, this behavio[u]r can (and has) gotten people 
desubbed... This isn't just a "top-post vs. bottom-post vs. middle-post" 
debate - it really is a generally bad thing to do, and the "click reply, 
wipe everything" doesn't really save much time at all, and is much more 
prone to oopses.

Just my $0.0000000000000000000000002 (as that's what it's worth...),

P.S. Yes, I was also threatened once to get desubbed because a few of my 
randomized .sigs are 5 lines instead of 4. They didn't *care* that one line 
was blank, and shouldn't count... :-/ The list charter said "a .sig 
*should* be no more than 4 lines" and they were taking it as gospel...
