Re: OT: the power of a subject line

["Cassandra Greer" <cassandra -at- greer -dot- de>]

I learned early on in my Internet life that usually by approx. every 10th 
message in a thread, the topic of the thread has changed significantly so I 
usually only check every 10th message to see what the new topic is and 
whether it is of interest :D 

 Saves time :)
