Re: Beginning topic titles with "How to..."

[Yves JEAUROND <jingting -at- rogers -dot- com>]

In a nutshell, isn't it all about:
a topic ("x"+ing) and a sub-topic (To "x"/About "x"+ing)?
   
  One can use "To..." as a sub-head for a procedure, but 
numbered steps function just as well, to indicate a procedure.
   
  About...? <grin> That has to go. Everything in a topic should
 be about that topic, or else <duh> it's off-topic. 
   
  Regards,
